freedom!

So I am officially done with the language program! All that is left is a fun party tonight, and then we are off on spring break for three weeks until the Summer Semester starts. I am so so so excited for break. Heather, Erwin, and I are going to Prague for three days, and then Vienna for one. From there, Heather and I are going to Schaffhausen Switzerland (which looks like the most adorable mountain town), and then Basel, each for a day. After that I am heading to Grenoble to visit Ali and Paris to visit Mary, which is the part of this trip that I am the most excited for, if that's possible. Then I'm meeting up with Heather again in Cologne, and she, her friend, and I are traveling back to Regensburg on Easter Sunday. The plan is to just stop in some random little towns and wander around where all the shops are closed, the streets are empty, and everything's adorable. If this doesn't work out for some reason though, there's always Easter Monday back in Regensburg. And yes, Easter gets two days here, neither one more important than the other. Wonderful!

Also, I am beyond excited, due to my trip to the library today. As my reading level is around that of a ten-year-old, I began in the children's section. I took out Harry Potter and Matilda in German, as well as The Neverending Story, which I hated the movie of as a child but is the only children's book that I know of that was originally written in German. We also may have found the Devil Wears Prada in German, so after I get back I will be taking that one out.

This means that I can bring Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen, Die unendliche Geschichte, and Stolz und Vorurteil on my break. Hopefully with the help of these I won't completely forget my German right before I have to take classes again.

And now, I am leaving to go to bed until seven or so, due to this horrible sickness that has consumed me for the last few days. I have to be better by my 6:30 train tomorrow morning, so I am sleeping as much as possible for now. Hopefully my laundry is dry enough that I can move the shirts off my bed. Goodbye for a few weeks!
