yummy!
...sitting here eating my turkey and cheese sandwich on fresh braekenbroetchen (eww, no umlauts) with a glass of mango juice and a bit of Ritter Sport German chocolate by candlelight. I like living here.
I've been so on edge about stoopid stuff lately that I haven't taken the time to appreciate where I am and what I'm doing in this place.
I'm in ficking Deutschland. Studying Intensive German with real German people in a 500 Euro a semester course. I'm living in my uber-dorm and making friends with the granola hippies of German Franconia...and it's free. I can travel all over Europe during the spring when my classes let out from February to April...I can walk to the grocery store everyday and buy my delicious fresh bread and carry it home in my wicker shopping basket (Markuskorb?) and even walk all the way downtown (who am I kidding? I'm taking the bus--for free) and buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and gorgeous flowers while walking around a city that's been here since before Chris Columbus was an itch in his daddy's jockey shorts...
I've got this incredible journey and opportunity before me, and God strike me down if I let it slip out right from under me.
Hmph. I guess that's all I wanted to say.
