so. boo tom. he's not showing up at all now, at least not when i will be in europe. so, i have an $80 tuesday night plane ticket from warsaw to bonn for nothing. lame. but i really really don't want to go to warsaw. i was only going to see him. so. being fiscally irresponsible as i am, i bought a new plane ticket for tomorrow from vilna to frankfurt, and then will train it from there to bonn. not too bad. i think all together it should only be less than 300. and it means i won't have to find a hostel in warsaw or mope around vilna/warsaw by myself for several days. my flight goes from vilnius to prague, then prague to frankfurt. renee and i are on the same first flight, but then she stays in prague for a few days before going back to the states.
miriam left this morning. she had a 6:30 am flight. so at 4 i was helping her drag her suitcases down stairs and out to the front of the complex to catch a cab to the airport. she cried. it broke my heart. i, of course, didn't cry until she was in the cab and safely out of sight. and then went back in and lay awake staring at the ceiling in all my cracked-hearted pain. eventually i dozed off, but i woke up feeling like i hadn't slept at all. september. early september, kine hora, we'll see each other again. her parents live in ann arbor, so it'll be easier to split up breaks. except princeton's breaks don't line up with anything, apparently. ever. except winter.
i don't even know. what do i say? today i need to find a shot glass from vilna. pack. eat my leftover schnitzel and drink a beer or two. i don't know what to do with the eggs i have left. or the random food. i was planning to be here longer. also. i started dating a vegan, so i didn't eat the rest of my eggs because we kept cooking together. i found peanut butter! in lithuania! it was good. just peanuts and oil and salt. and we made a delicious peanut sauce for vegetables with it. it was my idea. *is pleased* look. i will learn to cook yet.
also last night a bunch of us went out to dinner last night. a nice german restaurant, but we waited over two hours for the food. and then they charged us a 10% "service fee" even though the food took so long and rachel got the wrong dish and miriam's "potato and vegetable" whatever ended up just being sortof weird cheese sauce and potatoes with not really any other vegetables. she said it wouldn't have been so bad if the cheese sauce had at least been good, but you know, it sucks to have to break the veganism and then have the food suck too. but at least she didn't get sick from it. but anyway at dinner i asked clare if they had seen this coming before we did and she said of course, her and rachel had talked about it the second week of the program. ha. the second week i was just trying really hard not to like yet another "straight" girl. she said she was still trying to figure out how she felt. but it wasn't really until the chinese restaurant where it was like, damn. this isn't just some little crush. bah.
