Oh My Goodness
I haven't been on LiveJournal in a week...one of my friends from the US came to visit me this past week, and we were so busy that I was barely on my computer at all. I'll update on my week (and my weekend in Berlin!) later on. Today I took my friend to the airport (and by "took" I mean "rode the Strassenbahn with") for her 8 AM flight. This ( Read more... ) -
Welcome To My Dream
Sometimes I wonder if a lot of people have consistently weird dreams. 'Cause I sure do. Last night I dreamed that I was in Japan. In dream-Japan, apparently there are human sized and shaped ice cream cakes. And a menu full of pastries that are representative of other objects, and some people's faces. I kept poking at the menu to make the pictures ( Read more... ) -
I'm So Tired
It's going to be an early night tonight, I think. I had an oral presentation today that I was working on last minute, so I managed to get a whole four hours of sleep last night. And now I have a super fun sleep deprivation headache. Whee! On a happy note, I did really well on my presentation. I got a 1.7 (German grades work like golf; the lower the ( Read more... ) -

I Have Failed at Life!
Well, okay, I haven't actually failed at life. But I did fail at my goal of posting an entry today before midnight. Oh, well. So not a whole crapload going on here...One of the guys in my program had a piano concert last night. He's crazy talented, and even played a piece that he'd written himself. I'm so impressed by instruments (like the piano) ( Read more... ) -
Back in Bremen!
So I just got back from my weekend in eastern Germany, and I'm really tired, but I decided to post tonight anyway for inexplicable reasons. We (the 7 other students studying in Bremen who go to my college in the US, our program coordinator, and myself) piled into a 9-person Mercedes Benz van on Friday afternoon and headed off to Dresden. The trip ( Read more... ) -
Shakespeare Plays, Ended Friendships, and Other Such Fun
So today (technically yesterday now) I went to see a performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, put on by students in Uni Bremen's English- & American-Studies Drama Group. It was pretty awesome and very funny. I was really impressed by the cast; Shakespeare is fairly difficult for native speakers, and the actors not only had to learn lines not in ( Read more... ) -
A Poem and Some Other Thoughts
I want to try to put up a new post at least every other day. The problem with this post is that I did absolutely nothing the past two days, except procrastinating and not doing homework (which I desperately need to do). So instead of writing about how many times I hit refresh on Facebook (a lot), I figured I'd just post one of my poems. If you hate ( Read more... ) -
Shakespearian Sonversation
Holy crap, I post here a lot. Oh, well. I was talking with my boyfriend on Skype, and we had the following conversation/wrote the following sonnet (it starts out being about trying to talk in sonnet form ( Read more... )
