Dangers of Ice
München, Deutschland

So, on my way to linguistics, I slipped on the ice and fell on my ass. It was apparently a pretty impressive crash, as all four limbs and my bag went in different directions and my hat literally flew off my head. I don't really care about the many Germans that witnessed this impressive display of grace, but my back, wrists, and knees hurt a lot from the fall. I'm old. And wahrscheinlich quite uncoordinated.

On top of this, I'm stressed. I'm suffering headaches, loss of vision (when standing up quickly), and my nose is all stuffy. I'm betting on dehydration for all of these. Besides which, I'm just kind of burned out, and I'm blaming most of this on stress. Finals, projects, RA applications, worrying about money, worrying about my living situation next year, worrying about learning this darn language... At least that graceful moment of flying through the air provided a break (albeit a tiny one) from everything else.
