Let's try posting daily

Well, I don't have much time before I have to head off to my language class, but I thought I'd post something quick so we don't end up with what happened last week!

Yesterday Nicole and I went over to Katie's place to help her pack since she leaves tomorrow. We ate one of the pecan logs that mom sent me and I wrapped the stuff I'm sending back with Katie. Three bites of that pecan log and I was literally vibrating! I love pecan logs. Then I came home and called my parents. I should mention that I usually call them on Sunday nights, it's nice to have that every week. And Nicole recently set me up with this awesome phone card thing and now it's super cheap! Anyways, when I talked to mom she asked how many pecan logs I got in the package. I said, "Two." She said, "That's funny, I sent six." So, apparently, four of my pecan logs got confiscated by Deutsche Post. How odd.

Today I had my two morning classes and then went to the Christmas Market at Marienplatz. I'm going to be really sad when this season is over because it's so nice there. I should interject here for anyone *cough*Nicole*Katie*cough* who has heard me complain about the Christmas Market at Marienplatz: It was very nice at noon on a Monday. (I am occasionally very vocal and emphatic about not going to said market, but that's always on a Friday or Saturday.) Then I ate a donair. I love donairs, but I realized that I was getting a little too into eating them, so I stopped. You know the post from Dec. 6 where I talked about eating a really oniony donair and then getting stopped and asking for directions? That was the last time I ate one. That's almost two weeks!! Awesome.

I have had, emotionally, the weirdest couple of days. This might be homesickness, or the fact that Christmas is less than a week away, or (let's face it) it might just be hormones. Either way, I have been a varitable rollercoaster. I alternate between dancing around my room singing quietly along to my music (I have had to learn how to quietly sing along because the rooms aren't exactly sound proof - but I make up for it by enthusiastically dancing around) to just sitting down on the bed in silence and then taking a nap (yeah, I know, you're all really surprised that I would nap, right?!). I don't cry, though. How unlike me.

Anyways, I don't want to end it on that note. Truthfully, I am in a good place and I can't wait for classes to end! I am definitely going skiing in Austria for Sylvester with my buddy Eddy, who I haven't seen in, like, four years and I stole a bunch of music from Katie. Things, on the whole, are good. Okay, time to leave now. Where'd I put my pants...?
