le weekend!

Oooooh, the sun is shining and the grass is green, under the 3 feet of snow, I mean!

Hehe, ok, so there isn’t actually any snow, but the sun is shining!! For the first time in a few weeks, there has been more than 15 minutes of ACTUAL sunshine!! Its amazing! I just spent the last hour walking around Göttingen, with my sunglasses on, enjoying the freezing warmth. Everything is closed today, because its Sunday, other than the weihnachtsmarkt, so I wandered through there, looking for various things that I may or may not need… any requests for Christmas things from Germany? If so, lemme know, I’ll be glad to mail stuff home. Just keep in mind I can’t mail beer, sorry…
This entire weekend has been a blast so far. Thursday was quiet and nice, I stayed in and watched movies and cooked. Friday, there were three birthday parties, so we started off with Mariel’s, then moved on to philipp’s, and then ended up meeting the other birthday party at the bar with philipp’s group. I ended up going to bed around 5ish, and had a fantastic time all night, other than being slapped, and getting my hat stolen. (by the same woman, might I add….) at least I got my hat back! Saturday, I woke up around 1, bummed around for a bit, got clean, got food, ate, and then went with Julian to meet Philipp and his dad and his dad’s gf Anja for a beer at one of the OLD pubs in town. It was the coolest place ever, practically a dungeon- I could barely stand up because the ceilings were so low, and vaulted! It was in the basement of a building, lit mostly by candles, and very quiet and creepy, but awesome! I hadn’t meant to really go out again, but next thing I know, we’re back at thanner’s, and its approaching 4am. Whoops. Oh well, it was still philipp’s birthday! Woke up today, a bit groggy, saw the sun shining, and had to get outside!! As I walked around, I picked up a baguette and some cheese, and so I think that’s going to be my lunch now.
Oh! In other news, mama and the girls have landed safely in München, and are now in Garmisch, sleeping off jetlag, and hopefully having a good time in the snow! I have classes this week, but will be taking the train down on Thursday to meet them in Ulm! YAY!! Its so strange to me that my family is suddenly much closer to me, but that I still can’t see them for a bit…
Have a great weekend!
