Time here has been flying by. It has been so hard to do everything I'd like to in just two weeks! Plus I go to school from 2pm-6pm everyday.. Went to the Open Air Cinema with two friends last night. We got very lost and took some turns down some etchy sketchy dark streets, but in the end we followed the loud noise and found our way! I have to say it was very much worth all the wrong turns in the end because we made it and it was such a cool experience! The weather was lovely, we cracked open a couple bottles of vino and ate jellybeans. It was definitely one of those self aware moments where I gazed away from the screen, looked at my surroundings and thought, "wow, I am very, very grateful to be where I am right now, with these wonderful people". Going off on a tangent.. I forgot to mention earlier that when I arrived here in Germany they told me I wasn't in the group! Apparently I accidently got deleted from the database-not my fault at all. So now they are working out all the gliches because they only have 29 plane tickets to Milan on Monday yet there are 30 of us! (Me being the child left behind #30) tear... haha. How bad would that have been if they had no record of me being apart of this group? I was like uhm I paid and went to orientation and I'M HEREEE!? (laughs) but it's all working out, they're able to pull some strings and undo the mistake. This morning before class a bunch of us went to the Salvador Dali Museum. I hadn't known who he was until today and now I am obsessed! Not only do I have a fascination with moustaches, but also his talent is remarkable. He was an artist in so many ways-painter, writer, filmmaker, cartoonist, sculptor, etc. etc. the list goes on. I was very much inspired however, I'm sadly not very artistic myself. I have an essay on a scene from a film due Friday I better get off to working on. PS if anyone noticed how I said "the weather is lovely", that is because I was in an organic store yesterday buying a snack inbetween classes and asked the woman working if these vegetable chips were good and she replied with, "Personally, I think they're quite lovely". She said it in such a dream-like voice it sounded so adorable that I've decided to begin using that phrase more often. Haha, laugh at me all you want but it isn't something I've heard often from my own generation and I like it!
Ciao!
