Guten tag my little cocosnuss(es)!*
I just flew back from Cologne (or Koln with an umlaut over the o, as they say it in Germany)last night, and BOY are my arms tired. I got home at around 12:30, feeling like the bigest crackhead EVER, as on the way back, to avoid jet lag, I didn't sleep at all, but instead drank a shiteload of kaffe earlier that day and on the flight. WHOA did that mess up my brain, since I'm not a bigg kaffe drinker.
ANYHOO,
Koln was amazing, World Youth Day was friggin incredible, but I am as happy as a clam to be back.
Even if it's just for the day.
And even if my Mom just told me that today is my on day to pack up all my stuff and prepare for college, b/c we're going upstate tomorrow first thing, and then driving down sunday morning to check me in immediately. YAY
Cologne was really cool-- I was with a group of about 150, from all over the world. Dan and Mike were there too.
Unfortunately I didn't sleep at all on the way to Germany,
so I was EXHAUSTED pretty much the entire trip.
I truly narcolepted my way around Deutschland.
If i was motionless for more than about 4 minutes,
I immediately fell asleep.
Even in mass, it was bad.
There were SO SO SO SO many people there at World Youth Day (or Weltjugentag in German),
it was RIDICULOUS.
HOLY CRAZNATCH!
It's too much to write about here, but I think there were about one million people there for the final Mass on the hugemongous field.
I say people from:
(I could tell by either the language they were speaking or what flag they were carrying---
EVERYONE carried flags, it was so much fun)
England, Ireland, Wales(!!-hardly any catholics anymore), Scotland(!!- same deal as wales), France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sardinia, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Croatia, Poland, Denmark, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Turkey(!!- its lke 98% muslim), Israel, United Arab Emirates(!!- same as turkey), China, Japan, South Korea, Phillipines, Mongolia(!!- jsut totally random), Tajikistan(!!- same as mongolia), Egypt(!!- same as turkey), South Africa, Uganda(!!), Kenya(!!), Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Iceland, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, pretty much all of the little South & Central American countries, and LOTS LOTS more that I am forgetting or I didn't see.
I mean COME ON YO THAT IS SO AWESOME-- talk about WORLD youth day. plus, i say BENNY!!!! THE 16th!!! whoot!!
but anyway--- it is so so so so nice to be home.
the first thing i did last night, even though i was a walking zombie, was go onto the computer and check livejournal to see how all of you who were already at college were doing. i didn't even say hi to my mom. i kind of grunted at her i think.
last night i had a dream about all of you girls. you were all in it.
i miss you so so so much.
