Today has been the warmest day of the year so far. It’s April 2, 2011, and spring has finally heard our cries. Also, it is exam period. Ultimately, this is a call out for procrastination of the finest sorts. We had an extensive breakfast on the balcony, which was on the verge of turning into a brunch, but we averted that last minute. Instead of heading to our rooms to study, we decided to fulfill our weekly duties of bringing away paper, cans and bottles to the recycling station. Since the bins are next to our local Aldi, we decided to go in real quick, just to buy some fruits and snacks. On our way home, Caro, who has her exam on Monday, had the great idea to defrost our fridge. Since we’ve been planning to do that (by now one third of the fridge was completely iced) for quite a while, today with its 24°C seemed to be THE day. We emptied the fridge, put it out on the balcony, where by now Alexandra was sitting to study, cleaned the top of the lower fridge (we have two standing on top of each other), got rid of all the spider webs etc…when we finally decided there was nothing really left that we could do without feeling stupid because we’re not studying.
So we tried that for about an hour and then had lunch, barefoot, with tank tops, sunglasses and bright sunshine, the fridge thawing away next to us. Since the thawing took longer than we found reasonable, Caro went to get a hammer and screwdriver, and began pecking away chunks of ice. When I got my camera to film the scene, I saw a paperclip lying between the miniature ice floes. It got covered entirely by the chunks, but it was there, and this is already the end of the story. The bad part is, that now we have to clean the fridge and put it back up on top of the other fridge and sort stuff back in…and for some reason now it doesn’t seem to be as much fun anymore as this morning. So instead of doing that, I’m writing this.
This was a story of procrastination.
