Hot American guy spotted!

Otherwise known as the Pre-Leipzig, Jena, and Weimar Round-Up

Hey gang. So there's going to be a lot of traveling in the next month or so. For sure, I have Leipzig, Jena, and Weimar next week, Sweden the weekend after, and London for Christmas. Which very well means that I could be spending more days outside of Tübingen than in it in the next month. Which is kind of a weird thing to think about. 

But to start with my week: my brain has not been functioning this week really at all. Monday was a tired blur of meetings with tutors (entirely in German, t'was a struggle bus) and then zumba, which was also a struggle bus. But since then I have slowly been recovering from the lack of sleep last weekend. 

Es schneit!

Tuesday was a little bit better, but having class early wasn't great. But I came home to a lovely note and candy from my Mitbewohnerin, Lisa, on my door, thanking me for the note I wrote her last Friday. She's the sweetest. That night, I spent two hours with the 16 year-old German high-schoolers in El Chico speaking Denglisch. (I have been trying to keep them to just speaking English, but it doesn't always work.) Afterwards, I walked up to Esperanto, the Tübingen shisha for our traditional Shisha Tuesday. Which is where this blog post comes from. Someone at the shisha bar saw my Norwegian friend, thought he was American, and put out a post on Spotted Tübingen, asking him to meet up at Kuckuck. It was absolutely hysterical to find that out the next day. Also, it snowed on Tuesday night. Really, really wet snow, but snow nonetheless. 

On Wednesday, I only had one real class, because my afternoon poli sci class was cancelled. So after 10AM history, I went home and napped for more than 2 hours. It was awesome. I then made dinner with the few things that I have in my apartment (package soup and potatoes...the lack of food is getting pretty bad) and went to art class, where I continued working on my rather mediocre-looking drum. The rest of the night I spent attempting to do homework, but actually watching Legend of Korra and drinking tea instead.

Then there was today, Thursday. It started with early class--again, and I spent most of the day attempting to do work in the Brechtbau. Afterwards was Kaffeestunde, which, as usual, lasted more than an hour, because chilling with Ute is awesome. Afterwards, I planned on taking a nap, but there was no time, because I had to go to Donnerstag Abend, which, also as usual, was pretty wonderful, chill, and had free food. Then afterwards, Hannah, Anna, Louise, Lasse, Hannah's Spanish friend Lucia, and I chilled at Hannah's, ate cheese and chocolate, and drank wine. It was a lovely and chill evening. 

So yup, that's about it for the week's round-up. In other news, it's 2 WEEKS UNTIL SWEDEN! Super excited! Also as far as the rest of this week, on Saturday, the Tufts Kinder and I are heading to a Besenwirtschaft (a restaurant run out of someone's house, usually on a farm or the like), which should be pretty cool and then going to Deckenpfronn, a small town northwest of Tübingen to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday. Which I guess brings us up to Leipzig, Jena, und Weimar and the next great adventure. So, with that, bis später, Kinder.
