Thanks!

I had a GREAT WEEKEND...friends from my old company were in the Germany for work and I was able to join them for their last few days in the country.   It was nice catching up and at the same time really weird that in all the places in the world we caught up half way across the world.  So, Robin, Dave, Teresa, Dave, Raffy and Christine...thanks for the laughs and it was great to see you all again!  Strangely, it was funny that I was able to use the German that I knew and it just came out naturally...maybe you guys could come back and stay with me and I will be fluent quickly!

School is still school.  Thanksgiving is next week but instead of trying to do a little traditional dinner,  B and I will be in Paris.  I cannot wait.  Only because we will be on the lookout for furniture to start furnishing the apartment.  B has been off for the past week and he has been arranging to have workmen over to take away existing furniture, put up fixtures and to take away garbage that has been piling up here.  Its not that we are living in a dump but he and I have been so busy that it has been low on the tote pole of things to do.  

So I lost my shit today in class.  We have this new guy in our class from Bulgaria.  What an ass.  He always interrupts, laughs at people and is just a general nuisance.  Well today, we had to construct a dialogue and the scenario was to a train station and you are buying a ticket for travel with questions about how much you pay, where you are going, what class of travel, etc.  Well I get partnered with Bulgaria and he starts spouting off wild scenarios about his wife being pregnant, wanting two kinds of tickets all kinds of stupid shit.  Well he has been yapping and interrupting all the time before that and when this happened I SNAPPED.  I stood up and said to the teacher under my breath - I CANNOT WORK WITH HIM...it was too funny because after I came back to the classroom my friends were laughing.  After class they said the reason they were laughing is because the look on my face was the look of murder and they all agreed that the guy was a pain.  Our teacher even said it was unfortunate that had happened...lord...the drama that happens here everyday.  We had another incident last week wherein two of my classmates got into an argument.  Let me tell you something.  It is funny to hear people use the word fuck and shit when English is not their first language.  Me and the girl from Canada stood back and watched and were commenting on that.

PS - Friends from the States are here in Germany this week and Im meeting them this Saturday.  I AM SO EXCITED...
