My Schedule for Today12:19
Welp, I'm out. It was quicker than I expected, and I forgot my charger there (no worries, I'll be back in just two days), but... wow, it's actually over. I haven't fully had the time to comprehend it by now. The morning I “slept in” until 8:15, the assistants “looked the other way” for breakfast (I could actually eat a yogurt) and all the tests went over swiftly. Except for the blood sample, that, for some reason, was worse than ever, but who cares! It's over! Actually over. I cannot believe that the time went by so quickly.
To be fair, I quite liked the environment. Everything was taken care of for you! You'd get food 6 times a day, had a washing machine and dryer, there'd be events organized for you (bowling, walking outside, massages...), there are rooms for recreational activities (board / card games, video games, watching TV, even a karaoke machine). It'd be nice for such facilities to just exist as a public service, not for profit making, but it's really nice regardless!

As I was about to finish that last thought, the bus arrived in Groningen. The bus driver stepped outside and said “You'll need a passport with you, due to the uhh, controls”. Then I remembered: the “progressive” German government (Liberals, Greens, Social Democrats) has for the first time since Covid enacted border patrols in order to “stop illegal migration”.
A Dutch citizen was just told that she couldn't come with us on the bus ride as her national ID wouldn't suffice Germany's border patrol. This is among the most ridiculous events in Germany's modern political history, and the biggest indicator for our nations shift to the far right. The fascist AfD has completely annexed any political narrative and made their major talking points the only political talking points. As their rise to power becomes more inevitable by the day, every opportunist political party begins the race to the right, always trying to one up the others in how much of the AfD's proposals they can implement in the hopes of “winning back” some of the far right voters.
Implementing AfD proposals so that the AfD doesn't do it has to be among the most mindless political actions.

German border patrol / police is getting mad at a guy for only having his German driver's license. An elderly Dutch woman was also asked to leave the bus. Bus leaves.
