I love Franz Ferdinand

Today is a sad day because it is the first thing I’ve “missed.” What do I mean, you ask? Today is my best friend’s birthday and I’m not there to celebrate with her. This is the first real thing that I’ve missed. I guess that I missed Thanksgiving, but since Thanksgiving at the Pulles house consists of the five of us (and any significant others) eating a really fantastic meal and… well, that’s all, I didn’t really mind that I missed it. Then again, now that I am typing that I really, really want some turkey with gravy and cheese sauce. Crap. Okay! Back to the point, today is Ashley’s birthday and I really just wish I were at home so we could celebrate together, but I’m not and that’s sad. Happy Birthday, sweetie!

On a happier note, I met a bunch of new people this week through a guy in my German course. I met them all on Thursday and then I went out again with them last night. Anyways, a couple of the girls and I were talking on Wednesday about music and Munich and I mentioned that Franz Ferdinand is coming, but I was pissed because I don’t have tickets. And Geli (one of the girls) was like, “Do you really want to go? Because I actually have an extra ticket and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it.” Holy. Crap. So, she brought the ticket yesterday so that I know it’s for real and now I am going to the Franz Ferdinand concert on December 12!! (Mad props go out to my buddy Mike, who was the one who first introduced them to me!) Yeah!!

I might have also made some plans for the period of time where I was supposed to be alone, so I am super excited about that. Especially since these plans might be skiing in Austria! Well, I guess that the plans technically are skiing in Austria, the “might be” comes in because they aren’t solidified yet. See everyone, you don’t need to worry about Bari!

And, lastly, I got to open up the first couple of doors on my super-duper advent’s calendar. Yesterday I got 2 Schoko-bons (little chocolate eggs with the Kinder white chocolate and hazelnuts inside) and today I got a Kinder Riegel (little chocolate bar with white chocolate inside). I love Kinder chocolate, it’s so good.
