I'm back!
back from germany!!! wouldn't you love to know all about it! I was eventful without being eventful, no major disasters, no one trying to kill each other.
but it was fricking freezing. there was snow and everything. I don't know how I am going to handle next year, I am such a wimp.
But Berlin is a wonderful city. parts of it don't feel like a city, it's weird. But there is nothing like being in the country and seeing the sky and trees and fields. I like cities, and I think apartments are cool and totally alien to me. but I don't think I could live there.
Subways are awesome! I get a nice trill each time we successfully got where we were going. and it was in german!!!!! I have a whole new respect for people who are biligual. and erin was great with her german, we would have totaly died without her.
and I ate good pastries.
But I got back to my dorm and found out Lucinda has the mumps, safeway is now morrisons, my papers aren't written, and we have a long ways to go still in planning out easter break. there is so much to do and so much I want to see. and we can't do it all.
and being the biggest dork in the world, I want to get my picture taken by a sign for denmark. why? because I am denmarkian. the cabin boy. But that is the final place we would go, and that may get cut. why can't the rail pass be for 17 days!?!?!
but the best thing that happened to me is that next year I get to live on the top floor of morrison ( not the grocery store!!) on a "skyline apartment". I though we were going to get a triple without a kitchen, but I wrote an email to the housing office pretty much complaining that juniors we able to get into the new dorm and we were stuck in an old dorm san kitchen. but the switched us!!!! so now we have a kitchen AND dishwasher!! free laundry AND I most likely will get a free parking pass because I haven't been on campus for a year!!!! I'm happy about that, now I can invite my sister and her roommate (aka her freakishly similar clone/true twin up) up for tea. hehee.
I feel really proud that my complaining got us into a better room. I feel useful!! I finally did something and it actually worked and turned out good!!!
