A Dozen Days Noch

• Dear Gingers (Julia mostly,) the other day I got sunburnt.  Indoors.  Really.  I got a burn on my nose and arms while reading in my room.  I rejoiced, and then I realized how ridiculous it was.  It would seem that I also don't have a soul. :)
• I made my last money withdrawal a few days ago.  It's do or die now!
• I finished with my art and architecture class on Thursday!  w00T!!!  I went out with a bang, too, I'm pretty sure.  My notebook project was hideous and snarky.  I pity my teacher for having to read it, but at the same time I hope he does and I hope he laughs at all the great things contained therein.  I also hope he returns them because I kind of want to keep mine forever now.  It's like a kidney stone- the harder it is to pass the more precious it is to you.  Just kidding.  That's gross.
• I will probably only have to do one more load of laundry here, which is a VERY good thing.
• If you want to have a point of reference of when I'll be getting home, go to the store and buy a carton of milk.  Open it, drink one draught from the jug and then cap it and put it in your fridge.  Don't disturb it.  When it goes bad I will already be back.  Yay!
• On Friday we attended a wine tasting that the University had arranged for us as part of our Bodensee excursion.  Guess what?  Wine tasting is super super boring if you don't drink alcohol.  She talked for at least 15 minutes about each wine (there were 4), but none of it meant anything to us who were just sipping grape juice and waiting for dinner.  Thank heavens the beer brewery trip tomorrow isn't something I have to attend.
• I GOT TO MEET UP WITH VERONIKA IN HEIDELBERG!!!  YIPPPEEEEE!!! Dang I miss that girl.
• I'm starting to get really worried about speaking in church on the 28th.  Topic ideas?  I can't latch onto anything in my brain.
• I saw someone Nordic Rollerblading in Heidelberg in the street with cars in heavy traffic, and she was keeping up just fine!! It was insane!  I have to try it when I get home!
