You're silly

So I have to say that I'm sorry. I didn't do the best job of writing and explaining myself last time. You're right--I WAS in the midst of finals and writing papers in a language in which I have no writing style, and yes, that made me very busy and stressed. I wasn't trying to make anybody feel bad or anything. I just never know who's all reading, what they want to hear about, etc. I try to tell you things that aren't so ordinary, because I don't find them too interesting. I never mean to confuse anyone, and I always intend to make some sort of sense. It's my fault when it doesn't happen.

I'm going to be "out of the office" for a little while. I've received some very nice e-mails in the last days that I'd really like to respond to, but I'm afraid I can't give you an adequate response before I head out tomorrow for some traveling. Again...very excited! I've never been to Spain.

Last Tuesday I went to the Fasching celebrations with some classmates. It's soooo ridiculous. It's like Halloween meets St. Patrick's Day. The early drinking and spirits of patty's day; the bizarre costumes of the big halloweenie. We toasted with champagne, ate our weißwursts, krapfen (jelly doughnuts), und so weiter. The crowds were crowded and we were on our feet all day. My footsies have been really hurting me as of late, and the pain gets worse when you live in a big city and practically live standing! I do enjoy walking, don't get me wrong...AND it's been especially beautiful weather here lately (50 degrees fahrenheit or so). I'm just sayin'--maybe my boots weren't made for walkin'.

Off to do some last minute things. Clean my room, find missing things, you know. I hope you get the same rays in a few hours that are shining down on me as we speak.

Isn't it cool that we get to enjoy the same sun?
