Sorry, sorry

I’m sorry that I have been so lazy over the past few days, everyone. I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I’m sick… again. A few short weeks ago I made the comment that I never get really sick: I just get kind of sick for a really long time. So you can imagine how surprised I was when I made a complete recovery after only about 10-14 days! Well, then I was healthy for a week or so, and now I’m sick again. It started on Sunday or Monday where I woke up with a sore throat and it has gotten worse everyday. It probably also doesn’t help that, as soon as I started feeling better, I stopped taking the vitamins. And the fact that I can’t stop drinking alcohol. I can’t help it! I love the beer here and there is Glühwein everywhere I look because it’s Christmas. Booze!! Okay, so the point is that I’m sick again and the only thing I can really do to combat this is to sleep. Because if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s sleeping*! So I went to bed on Thursday night at 1:00 in the morning and woke up at 1:45 in the afternoon on Friday; so I feel better now! Not 100%, but I do feel better.

Other things that are new:
  1. Katie is back! I really missed her. We are all so crass together and I really missed that this week.

  2. Katie and I did start marking some of the assignments in the language lab, so now I don’t feel so guilty for taking so much money from the University. We are also going to sit down and brainstorm for the conversation course (Hey, Elizabeth! Any help here would be appreciated.), and we got an email that some department is looking for native speakers to help them translate something; it would make me feel so much better.

  3. Nicole and I went to a party at the Canadian Consulate on Thursday night. That was a lot of fun. I was surprised, because I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they served us chili (Oh, yeah! You know how much I love chili!) and lots and lots of wine. I also won a booby prize. I think it’s a booby prize. It’s a very nice-looking book, but I’m pretty sure it’s a book about the value of coins that are going to be in an auction in Frankfurt. And when I say “going to be” I mean “were in 1988.”

  4. I have gotten a bunch of stuff in the Advent’s Calendar; some Schoko-Bons, a Happy Hippo and a Riegel. I get another egg tomorrow!

  5. Only 2 more days to Franz Ferdinand!! I am so excited. I found out that another friend of ours, Olivier, is going too. Oh! And Nicole ended up procuring a ticket today, so we’re all going together! I am so happy to have met Olivier; we have really similar tastes in music, so he is exposing me to all sorts of European music that we don’t get exposed to, as well as some Quebec stuff that I’ve never heard of before. That reminds me: all of you music fans out there (Hannah, Mike [Nick, Kirk do you read this too?]: I’m talking to you!) please email me music! Even if it’s just one song at a time, I need new music! If you’re playing a song and you’re like, “I love this song,” SEND IT TO ME!! I want to hear it!!

  6. I bought something new. I love it. I bought it at one of the markets around here yesterday:
Sorry Mom, I know that you hate it, but you have no say in the matter. Hey, everyone, the jaw is on a hinge so it moves. Awesome.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. I’ll think about writing something tomorrow, but we’ll have to see how it goes. Sundays are for procrastinating, after all, so I might not get around to it.

There's a really wicked book on the mamrket called "Taboos and Issues" that's absolutely awesome for conversation. I use the politically incorrect humor and begging lessons all the time. They throw in some reading and grammar along with discussion q's.

Beyond that, I reccommend www.theonion.com for funny fake news articles that go over well, or serious news articles from any online newspaper. Also, check out www.onestopenglish.com. They have lots of good stuff (the Russian Orphan lesson is particularly excellent, in my opinion).

Hope this helps, dude! Any other info you need, just let me know.
