Right then, updates are, it seems, in order. In recent news, Katja, my German Studies advisor came this week to visit the program and to talk with her advisees that are currently here. Seeing her (after I recognized her - it's been so long that it took me a few minutes) was great, but it made me miss LC a lot. Such is life, I suppose. I am also having recurring dreams about LC - dreaming about moving into my appartment, unpacking, swimming, using the free gym, having real classes... And also very exciting: due to a strange series of events, I will be roomming again with my roommate from freshmen year! Rigel, whom I adore, lives in Portland and so had planned to stay at home instead of shelling out her life savings on the extremely over-priced (and yet oh-so-posh) on-campus appartmemts... But when one of my 3 roommates pulled out in order to take advantage of a chance to travel to Chile (woo-hoo!!), Rigel changed her mind and filled the spot. On top of that, Jay lives pretty much right next door, as does Summer, one of the crazy LC kids I swam with way back when, so I=quite excited. Unfortunately, I don't really know my other two roommates, but shall hope for the best cuz, really, masking-tape barriers would be a little immature at our age. Indeed. Either way, Rigel counts as 2 or three roommates with her personality quirks (i can't wait to live with her again - I need that daily dose of crazy or things just get boring ~_^).
Weather here is weird. One minute it's gorgeous and humid and hot as all hell and then the next there's a thunderstorm. Very strange. I do love the wind and stormy weather though, provided I'm already indoors, of course.
Jay and I are finished with the written part of our final joint paper for Theater, which we turned in to a tutor for language-related correction... Hopefully we'll get it back on Monday, finish up the costume and set designs, and the cd of music, and be essentially done with that class by Wednesday. Hmm. On top of that, I have to turn in my final papers for Toledo y Madrid and for Spanischer Lyrik this week as well, so then the weather needs to shape up and get gorgeous so I can spend my last weeks here lying in the English gardens. Mmmm, sun-napping bliss and the scent of heavy-duty sunscreen. ^_^
In other news, Jay's parents and 2 of their friends are coming to visit on Tuesday. I'm therefore trying to finish up my class presentation asap on that day and then run off early with Jay to meet them at the airport. Maybe there won't be any thunderstorms that day... Silly weather.
Right, as I've successfully wasted a good hour or so writing this, I'm now going to get back to my Seminararbeits. Spanish middle-age history: prepare to be my biatch.
