SNOW and CHRISTMAS

So y'all guess I've been slacking on posting on my blog. Sorry! I'll try to do better in the New Year. Well the semester is over...sort of...I do still have to write two papers but its not that big of a deal, I've researched both topics, and am slowly working on them...slowly. I've made it to Hamburg were I will be spending Christmas (which in German terms is tomorrow) :D...and there is SNOW lots and lots of SNOW. There also is my uncle lying on the couch snoring...haha. So what's new? Not much really. I finally send the package to my family for Christmas, guess it'll get there late oops. But my package isn't here yet either, sad panda. Mmmh....this morning I went to get a Turkey and two goose legs, for the Christmas feast, and then I proceeded to get some Milk and Yogurt, and then surprise surprise I actually worked on some homework. After about two hours of that I needed a break and started watching youtube videos. I am addicted to two peoples channels, and now I think I found a third...crazy. Lets see, what else? For New Years I will go to my grandparents, and I think I'm starting to get pretty excited :D...I haven't been there since I went to go vote. Terrible ain't it? Oh well it happens. Oh and by the way I have my new shoes :D....yay for Tennis shoes and boots, well sorta, they go up to my ankles does that count as boots?? I don't really know, but they are hella comfy!!! Yay fun. Mmh...other than that yay snow, yay Christmas...although I do miss my fam, my mommy and my daddy, and my sissy and of course my puppy, but I think Christmas here will be good with the mini-Christmas tree and the stary tablecloth :D. Okay, well that's all. Laters.

Dear All :D

So today was mega long, I went to a second hand store with Ashley, and I swear we spend like 3 hours in one and the same store, idk how ppl. do it but apparently they do. Then we went to another second hand store which was not so successful and guess what we did after that yeah a third second hand store, but that one was again a good one :D...Ashley found loads of great clothes for her petite lil figure. I wasn't looking for clothes I was conserving my money, clothes I think I have enough, well mostly lol. I did however buy a sleeping mask, it is hello kitty and super cute I think I should take a pic and post..yeah I think I will

isn't it cute?? this is the side that is up

and this is on my eyes...so cute
hopefully it will work and I will finally get some more restful sleep!! Then I can actually get up on a good schedule and be productive...productivity is key!!
However, I finally have a job for January, yay job, yay money, yay survival :D
I also just ordered a bathing suit, i was going to buy one with a cute skirt, but decided once i'm in the water it won't matter, so therefore I got one and will take my bathrobe or a huge towel with me until I get into the pool.


this is what it looks like, without the extra fabric thingy she is holding, cute eh?? and only 8.90 it was deal I couldn't pass up, I mean really poor college student hereI also got this shirt, it is super cute, I figured since I was going to spend 50 euros, spending around 20 for two items was okay...since shipping costs are a lil expensive but not too bad!!!!
Today, I also managed to finally do my dishes, that was necessary, for some reason I hate doing dished idk why, I don't mind drying them and putting them away but I hate doing dirty dishes, oh well, they are done finally :D!!!!
Sadly, I missed dance today though, that was no fun...but I got back too late from my shopping spree with Ashley, but since the day was a blast I think I'll allow it :D!!!!
And, and, and the last two days I got to talk to my Daddy, my Mommy, and my Sister which is great because I miss them. A LOT!!!! Mmh...what else is there???
My roommate moved out, so I guess she is no longer my roommate, and now I live alone which is nice. I like it, even though it takes away my excuse for being lazy, cuz usually it was because she was in the shower so no point in getting up, guess that one no longer works...oh well!
Okay, well I still have some stuff to do, before bed and such. Hope everyone is well.
BYES

WOW...it has been forever

can you believe it...I haven't updated for a month...wonder why that was...mmh can't remember
Well I'm sure everyone is happy to hear that I still love it here in Bremen, I've made some pretty awesome friends, we cook dinners together, go shopping hang out...laundry, watch movies go to dance class yeah it is all pretty awesome...class is hard, as class usually is...but oh well shit happens
History is just no my specialization and neither is philosophy...the class may be called literary theory but it all comes back to philosophers blah! But it is okay because the teacher is amazing, i like her a lot. Mmh...maybe more updates later, its late

OH the cold!

Well yesterday I had my first ballroom dancing class...it was okay. Granted she started with a samba which was prolly not the brightest decision with a bunch of beginners, but none the less it was fun!We just kinda danced and had fun and I shall go back next week, just like I shall return to martial arts on tuesday even if it is not Tae Kwan Do which makes me sad!!! But I am not a quitter so there you go, I will persevere unless of course I end up hating it ;)! Today it has been freezing all day, and I have stayed snuggled up in a blanket for the majority of the day reading, or watching some tv! It is nice to just sit, drink tea and read, read a lot! What I'm reading...well a Kathy Reich book, and prolly should read some homework as well. Will for sure tomorrow, read homework and more homework it'll be fun :), well at least it has to be done! Tomorrow, we are cooking mexican food which makes me super happy, because I've been missing my Pancho Villa trips! I realize it won't be as good as Pancho's but hell it'll be MEXICAN so that is enough, for now!!!!! Other than that, I really don't know, waiting to see if I get a job offer, but if not at least I got governmental money which helps take down the stress level a lot. And less stress is good, it makes me more conscious of what is good vs. bad for me, myself and I! Monday I will be exploring Bremen city some more, I hope...or at least so is the current plan!! This makes me very happy :)! And on an unhappy note I cannot do my laundry right now, because are washer and dryer room has no power for some reason. Well I believe I'm good for now.
Blubber! Nitwitt! Odman! Tweet!
Peace out y'all

An Uncomfortable Night and the trip home

So there I am lying on a couch trying to sleep! Sleep did not wanna come, partially cuz the couch is uncomfortable and partially cuz I was not a fan of the train ride home. And then at midnight the shades go up automatically why? Who knows, cuz the stupid timer is broken i suppose, oh well...
The train ride home was an epic fail! On the train from Braunschweig-Hannover HBF, I sat near two little kids no older than 5...momma I want this...momma I want this...I have to pee...I'm hungry...and then I'm happy I finally get to go out the train and into another...but low and behold a bunch of high school kids join me, I believe they may have been 8th graders....but if that wasn't enough a bunch of 6th graders joined about to stations down the road...so I had an hour of sixth grade crap...because they actually sat next to me SUCK!!! How annoying they are...I hate class trips and kids who cannot sit still but bounce around,hit each other etc. etc. I wonder how much people hated me when I took the train daily...I can only guess. Finally arrive at Bremen HBF...that was exciting...except I noticed my suitcase broke again...well sort of...the screws that hold the pully thing to the suitcase broke off, fail!! And then the train to Bremen Vegesack gets cancelled, really?? I have to wait there an hour. But on a happy note, I met some friends and I didn't have to hang around Bremen HBF by myself for an hour, that was a good thing :)
Well that's all the news for now

Salzgitter and Voting!

Well here I sit at my grandparents house, full with some yummy leftovers that we just had for Lunch! After cleaning the dining room and putting it back into its previous state of orderliness I am now getting ready to do some homework, without the distraction of a TV or Internet fast enough to watch True Blood...not that I'm addicted or anything :)!!!
Tomorrow I have to go and vote for the German political cabinet or whatever it is that they have here, I'm not quite sure what it is...but research is on the way! Grandpa already told me who is the best party to vote for and that I should vote for them...but in the end I will do what I want (what is it again that I want?)
Other than that, my suitcase broke while I was at the Bremer Hbf, and my uncle tried to semi-fix it, this only worked part of the way...after considering and reconsidering buying a new one and getting told by momma and gran that it is a bad idea I messed with the suitcase determined to make the stupid button push out both prongs so that the pully thing stays put. With a little pressure one the suitcase voila it works every friggin time....why could it not have been that easy from the first minute?? OH well it works now!!!!!
Well off to do something productive!

My time so far

Okay so a lot has been going on, and I as usual have little time, or maybe I just don't use my time wisely hence there have been no blog updates oops. I have started classes and so far have attended my graduate seminar on literary theory twice, it promises to be rather interesting I'm excited ;). Then I have had French class twice a week for the last two weeks, I like my teacher a lot and hope that this time around I can make French work and actually learn this language that I have been wanting to learn for so long. I also have been to Bremen City, and it is really pretty. I took the necessary pictures. With the Bremer Stadtmusikanten etc. Nice dorky American tourists.
Ashley went with me, she's also an IH major from Mass. so yeah...
Tonight I went to Ashley's house and we made some yummy noodles, yay for noodles and free food which is very important when you are a poor college student.
I also found out that all of the second year IH majors have stipends, and as of this year, the wonderful year I got into Jacobs stipends got cut, so none of the new IH majors got a stipend :( sad. But it's okay just another challenge for my life or my growing up process I suppose. I mean really I need to grow up some time right?? Or should I just strike...mmmh conundrum!!
Seriously though I have been applying for jobs and I am still hopeful even though that is hard after so many rejections, I shall keep my hope. Haha as Obama said Yes I can so there we go I can the end!!!!
Tomorrow I am going into Bremen city again, Ashley wants bedding that is soft and ultra warm like mine so we are going to Karstadt cuz they have some that she likes. And at some point this weekend I will go see my cousin I hope, as she is in Bremen as well.
Well that is all the new stuffs for now.

Two Weeks are almost up

After spending almost two weeks in Bremen-Vegesack and at JUB I must say I am impressed...I have had two of my classes which are great...met loads of people during O-Week and got myself a shoty bike. Overall I am really exhausted now but glad that I made the decision to come here. I miss everyone but it is okay I shall come and visit soon...as long as I get a job ;)
