Went to Berlin today for my required visit. I missed my first train and had to come back an hour and a half later to catch the next one, and by about 3pm I was pretty tired out with the beginnings of a headache, so the visit wasn’t spectacular. I was missing my tour guide [...]

I had my last dance with the Dessauer Sunheads last night. We danced at the park and had a little cookout, and one of the students from Sergej’s English class who was there was kind enough to take photos for me all evening. I’m really glad she did, because they’re great reminders of my last [...]
Yesterday I gave my final presentation for my Großprojekt. It went well – my teacher congratulated me on my well-prepared presentation and on having it done early so I didn’t have any technical problems.

Of course, after that the weather got colder. I’m buying a lot more clothing here than I do at home, but I have more motivation to look good [...]
I went with Natalie and Micha on Saturday to the Highland Games celebration in Halle. We carpooled with a bunch of SCA types who evidently do archery as their primary Middle Ages activity. I’m not usually a jewelry kind of girl, but I’ve been noticing that art people and people at these medieval things wear [...]
So lately I’ve realized that since leaving high school (or probably before that), I’ve tried to think through everything and its consequences before I take an action. I did some things when I started high school that were innocent and funny, but shaped my reputation for the entire time I was there. My reputation wasn’t [...]
