"The H-word"

HAUSARBEITEN. The German word for TERM PAPERS.

Time to start writing. What I'm supposed to write... heh heh I wish I knew! Wish me luck!

These papers are really consuming my life right now. Grr. But, in like 2 weeks they will be done and I will be FREE for like 6 weeks. Can't wait.

In other news, Shannon (my roomie from Penn) and another friend from her study-abroad program in France are coming to visit this weekend. I will have to ditch them a good bit to work on papers, but it'll be fun to have people around. I hate spending so much time alone, and especially now that classes are over, I'm pretty much by myself except for when I'm at church stuff.

I hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day! Mine was uneventful--V-Day is not a huge deal in Germany--but still nice. I wore lots of pink to keep me in the V-Day spirit.

Sigh... I'm getting anxious to get out of study-land and into the real world where life is more consistent and normal. Hopefully when I finally get there I won't miss study-land and it's on-again off-again nature. Right now I can't imagine that...

One of my walls in Munich was a giant window facing east, and I was once treated to a magnificent sunrise after pulling an all-nighter to write a Hausarbeit. If you end up staying up all night, make sure you treat yourself to a sunrise.
