It's been awhile, how are you?

I'm fully aware that I haven't posted anything in almost a month. Things slowed way down after Oktoberfest and I've kind of just been living here in Munich. Going to work, doing my laundry, buying groceries and watching T.V. is much less exciting than the things I was doing before, but I do have some things to share.

The weekend after Oktoberfest I went to Greffern to visit Kristi for the weekend. When I got there, our classmate Carl was in a frenzy. The "pipes" had burst in the house and it was pretty much raining through every lightbulb and every socket of the house. Apparently when they tried to fix things before, they had simply attached garden hoses for the houses water system. Some of her roommates stuff was damaged and we weren't allowed to use the lightswitch in the bathroom. The next day Kristi and I went to Stuttgarts Oktoberfest. It was really fun but the train rides to get out there and back took forever. If we wouldn't have gotten kicked out of the beer hall because of Kristi's drunk French roommate, who knows when we would have gotten back. All in all it was really fun though. We ate crepes like 3 times. That's something I'm definitely going to miss when I come back home.

In the weeks following, my classmate Mallory was in town so we got to hang out a bit. I also did Museums Night with a co-worker and that was amazing! We travelled from place to place seeing everything from a Russian library to a band playing Bob Dylan on top of the Olympia Tower. It was the best day. The only downside was that at then end of the night, the metro was closed so I had to walk quite a ways to get back to my apartment.

This past week Alex and D.J. came and visited me again. We haven't done anything too exciting, but it's just nice to be around eachother. Last night we went to the Euro Youth for their halloween party. It was really fun. We got our faces painted and watched them tap a keg of beer.

This upcoming week is my last in Munich. It's really sad because I've gotten so comfortable here. It's literally become like a second home. It will still be good to move around and see something new and exciting again. On the 5th I leave for Levanto wich is very exciting. I get to meet up with my classmates and hopefully see some warmer weather.

Also, I bought myself a rather expensive Christmas gift. No one gets to see it until my return. You should probably be worried. =P
