Spannend!

So a random list of things that I'm excited for:

- trip to the historical museum tomorrow

- Kneitinger (Regensburg brewery) evening mit Andi (our awesome textarbeit teacher)

- going dancing sometime soon!

- augsburg trip because I love historical cities (but not krammel leading it)

- third largest st. patrick's day parade in the world sunday in Münich

- being at the third largest st. patrick's day parade in the world with a whole lot of Irish people

- SPRING BREAK

- easter treats in Deutschland

- my parents coming to visit and good food and a chance to travel

- receiving american gum and my favourite pens from said parents

- buying a dirndl

- heather and my joint birthday party next september in german haus (our average age will be 21, which is of course reason enough to celebrate)

I think that's all for now. Clearly I have plenty of time for all of these things to happen and keep me having lots and lots of fun. By the beginning of Spring Break we'll have been here for a third of the time, which is absolutely insane. We only have two more weeks of language classes. Oh gosh, it's almost time for the real German world of papers and professors - Gott!

I had both a presentation of an article in Textarbeit and a ten minute Referat (speech) in Sprechen today. That was fun. But now that they're both over and I don't have anything to worry about until finals in two weeks (and only sprechen will really be scary in that case), I feel quite light and giddy. And it's becomming spring, and all I want to do is dance around in a meadow and read books. Kathryn and I discussed frolicking in a meadow today, and that's all I want to do. In the perfect meadow-frolicking dress of course. And spring weather just calls for a book and a sunny perch, which could so easily be at a picnic in said frolick-appropriate meadow in such frolick (and picnic) appropriate dress. 

It is so sad that these things will not happen. Oh spring how you tease me. Maybe on our hiking/picnic trip to the Black Forest/Lake region of Salzburg I can pack a frolick-appropriate dress for post-hiking fun times.

Random Note: If I say "'Fix!" a lot next year when something bad happens, instead of "Damn!" or "Shit!" it is merely a shortening of "Crucifix!" and not a sign of my insanity. This is one of my favourite German things that apparently people say but I have never actually heard, but will most certainly begin using anyway  (there are a lot of these).
