Guten tag meine Damen und Herren. I just ate a big bowl of spagetti with olive oil, garlic, brocolli, and sundried tomatoes .. yummmmm. But I have a variation of that dish once or twice a week .... so I think pretty soon it wont seem as yummy. Im at the Stanford center ... drinking the sweet nectar of free internet. Haha...whatever that means. Things are goody goody. Its super cold here and snowy ... and yesterday I lost both my hat and a part of my headphones. the hat part was pretty tragic....but i just bought another one. And mine are in ear headphones so they have a silicone part that fits in my ear to make a seal ... so I lost one of those parts and seriously ... I almost cried. I thought I would have to buy another pair .. and thats 50 dollars. BUT...I rememberd that I had bought Jesse the same pair of headphones ... and he uses the big silicone thingies ... so I am getting his little ones! I hope that made sense .... Im going to Weimar this weekend with Lexia. We leave Saturday morn and get back sunday night ..... I hope its not too stressful! Lexia style would be to have 7 activities each day. I will let you know how it goes. I think I am going to a concentration camp one of those days .... Im excited aabout that. What else .... I am officially 21! Its so weird to think about it ..... I feel all of a sudden a LOT older. Im excited just by the prospect of being able to buy alcohol...like, feeling like having a beer and just buying one. I think I will 100 percent be carded .. ..since half of the world thinks Im 15 ... but I will totally have a legit ID and thatll make me feel damn good. ..... OH! this IS big news. My family bought .... drum roll please ... a DRYER! Its very exciting, as not many Germans have them. Its not a real dryer though .. its like compressed or something ...and you have to empty a container after each cycle to dump the water out ...my mom tried it out last night for a really long time ... and the clothes were still damp! So hopefully it will improve, but its still amazing. AND they bought one of those in home espresso machines ... with a milk forther. I asked about this shopping spree and he said they have a friend who works at a large department store so they got all of their things on sale AND with a 19 percent discount. Alright. It has suddenly become 9pm ...oh where did my evening go. I hope everyone is happy, warm, and feeling good. I miss you all!

Viele Liebe Grusse
