Random notes from the Pre-Easter season
I was really homesick yesterday and today, but a skype home has made me feel better. I don't get enough news from home- I keep them updated via this blog so that tends not to encourage the exchange of letters or email, which leaves me a little underinformed.
I did get a lovely Easter basket from my mother- I've eaten all of the skittles already, which put me in a dangerous place sugar-wise, but means that I now have six little Spider-Man head plastic Easter eggs to play with. I'm considering putting them on thread and floating them from something in my room, but the is a distinct lack of places from which to hang things.
I've basically bummed around all day, and had a two hour conversation with my parents. We ended up talking about ( my friend who dumped me (cut for boring and depressing, but no news) )
But enough of that!
I will be going to London on Monday to see friend Emma, and this time I will be brining an inflatable mattress and far less baggage. That seems like it would make for a much more pleasant trip for both of us- I also have some idea of how the heating in her building will work (or not, as the English seem to think is more appropriate) so I have enough in the realm of sweaters to keep me happy and warm. We're planning to go and see Hairspray, about which we are both more than a little crazy. I am going to bring some of my homework for the plane, and let that be that.
Easter is tomorrow, and I am planning on actually going to church. I was talking to my mother today about internship stuff (which at home are often full of church type stuff for me), and while I want to come back to Berlin and Europe in general, it seems like a better choice to do that after I finish my degree, and maybe take a year off to do something rather than just a few months more in the summer.
