I had much less problem sleeping than I expected last night — I guess the lack of naps combined with the busy day got me to sleep before midnight, and the morning sun woke me up at a somewhat reasonable hour. It just took a while for my legs to accept it was morning and [...]
Ich bin jetzt in Deutschland! Die Jugendherberge in Frankfurt war schön und ist direkt nebenan den Fluss. The flight over was uneventful (and nowhere near as long as the one to Japan was), which is always good. Surprisingly, the lasagna they served for dinner wasn’t bad – I guess it helps some airline dinners to [...]
Well, I’m here in Frankfurt on my second day. The youth hostel’s computer has a weird keyboard that is very slow to type on, and that’s my only internet for now, so pictures and stuff will come when I get to Dessau. For now things are going fine!
Wow! The compression sack my mom lent me is amazing! All my clothes fit in it, and then I can compress them to take up even less space. When I get it down all the way, all my clothes take up about the same amount of space as a ziplock or two (as I was [...]
Battlestar’s end was just too awesome! I need my fix of BSG, and now I’m going back and rewatching early episodes. Recognizing all the cylon skinjobs in the show makes it more amusing. I’m not sure it’s helping that two guys from the show are now in Dollhouse… Having finished BSG, I’m finally getting back [...]
Battlestar Galactica’s series finale was frakking awesome! I had serious concerns after Daybreak part 1 because I thought it lacked the punch of some of their more epic episodes, but come on, there were moments in part 2 to rival the time Galactica jumped into the atmosphere on New Caprica! I really loved the opera [...]
Changed the header image again — slowly making progress towards sweet-looking chem glassware. Not sure if I like them in different colors or whether I want to go with my kelly green color. Some day they’ll be reflective and stuff. At the moment I guess it looks like I just slapped clip art on there. I [...]
I’ve started making plans for post-final-projects traveling time in Europe. I need to decide on this soon so I can get my Eurail pass >.< If I buy the pass, it will cost slightly more than the two individual train tickets, but I will get 3 more days of travel. The thing is, what will [...]
I’ve started packing some for Germany, mostly things like summer clothes. I’m starting to get pretty nervous about going! It’s going to be a new experience to be traveling in Europe by myself. I’m going to try to fit all the things I need for four months into a hiking backpack and a carry-on backpack [...]
I had a nice lunch with Eric at Lai Lai on Green Street on Thursday. They have good Chinese food and Eric enlightened me about Germany, from the size of beer they serve to the prominence of skinhead groups, when he studied there. D: I made reservations and bought tickets and stuff for my arrival. [...]
