day 46

day 46

i think i might be sick. my throat is soar and my nose is alternating between running and being stuffy and i have small head aches ocationaly. i was about to go to the store to get orange juice when i started talking to thomas he offered me some sort of spray (i declined) and asked him were the orange juice was he said in back by the check out and payed me back for the eggs he used last week. i walked there got the juice and on the way back my side started to hurt like when training for the grand canyon i thought i must be sick i have barley walked at all today. when i got back (thomas was making a balsamic reduction (basically he was boilng vinigar and sugar (i think))) when i walked into the appartment my sinuses just started to drain right away. i felt good for a while dispite the awful smell but eventually i had to retreat to my room to avoid the smell and the soar throat is back.

had stew with colored noodles for lunch. last month a brazilian friend told me how he was joking one day with the cook about how he had a big hunger and shee gave him a huge helping and continued to give him big helping from that point on. so i tried it this month and it worked. today she gave me allot and asked if it was enough.

i have 14 days left in germany then i will transfer to vienna. once in vienna i will have 16 days until the german classes start. however the first week of being in vienna i will have vienna seminar on wensday (a two hour class) and perhaps my history and music classes. this should give me ample time to adust to the city.

the drunk group is going to octoberfest some time. (oktoberfest runs from the last week of september throught the first week of october). drinking sounds like an expensive habbit. and further moree i'm not sure any one here really realizes howmuch they are spending. thomas, today, went out on a whim today and bought a cleaver for 6 euro and said its a great deal. i think each of them is easily spending 100 euro a week.


learned somthing about people today for the most part they are egotistical and want imediate gratification with out concern for otheres or consiquences. maggie talked to me today she had a double room alto her self because her roomate left in the first week. and apparently the haus mister (house master (guy who controls the dormatories) wanted her to move to a differt room along with another central student to make room for othere people. she took affence to this saying its not my fault i got my own room i didn't cheat the system i just goot lucky and now i'm being punished for it and its not fair. the haus mister replied you think your being punished? she said well yeah i have to pack up all my stuff and move it to a different room and it isn't fair. i was tempted to tell her that she wasn't being opressed because she is not a minority but i held it back. what makes it really annoying is that she only talks in mooniton with a straight face and she has to tell every one. quite honestly i thiink her argument is flawed in ohh so many ways but my point is that she can't seeem to understand the haus misters point of view. and doesn't understand there is nothing she can do and that there are things bigger than herself.

there is a movie today that i am thinking of going to but given my current health condition i should consider not going as well. i think i will get a seat close to the door and go out when i gets to late but i will miss the quite time that i will have here since the drunks will be gone and as soon as they get back its gonna get loud. i think i will skip the movie tonight and wath it on my laptop some other time.



i got an apoligy from james last night for being so loud and how he didn't realize how loud they were till he stoped getting drunk every night. i was about to say "its alright" but caught my self before saying it. i realized i don't wanna give him permission to do it again. its hard to not forgive some one and be polite about it.
