J.MAC IN D-LAND

i think last time i wrote something real was after easter? i know i’m overdue, and since i have a midterm tomorrow and a paper due friday this seems like a prime time for an update.  april was pretty nuts, literally everyone in the world visited.  my friend glenn, who is studying abroad in london, was here for a few days which was just wonderful. he was followed by angry, who was able to experience the glory of the weinerei and antipodes before she and mole jetted off to london and abandoned me.  however, two days after they left my nana and her two best friends arrived! they were here for a full week, and we got to see everything there is to see in this city, and even took a day trip to potsdam.  we also ate lots of heavy german food which i’ve been trying to run off ever since they left.  the weather was also perfect while they were here, and got even better after they left! oh and our friend ryan was also here while they were here which was also great!

after the whirlwind of visitors it was time for 1. Mai, one of the biggest celebrations/ riots of the year. basically the entire city converges in one neighborhood (which has a shady reputation but which is actually awesome) and everyone drinks and has a great time and then people light stuff on fire. we left before the fire part (although we did see a burning trash can).  

this week i’ve had no class because it’s “midterms.” being abroad isn’t real.

and that’s all that’s happened basically? oh i went to a soccer game sometime during all of these happenings! and hung out with some great singers from the US who you should check out!
