great it's 2:35 am, and i am posting again, which probably means this entry will soon degenerate into an incoherent mass of words. i'll try anyway.
tuesday was amazing!!! dagmar told me about an article in the german daily newspaper about an inauguration party at the goya club (right at nollendorfplatz), and i got a group of stanford students to go with me. we waited outside for quite a while starting at 4, but we got in just in time to see biden walk out and get inaugurated as vp. it was so emotional seeing obama get inaugurated. the 10 euros was well spent. seeing obama get sworn in with a roudy crowd of other americans was really heartwarming. the group consisted of me, tim, asmita, letitia, tommy, jack, and waddie. amie and the frat boys were a bit late and got split from us. after the inauguration, we headed to dulce pizza for some cheap 2 euro pizza. the hot salami ist sehr gut! then off to the philharmonie to attend a concert by musicians in training. the performers were probably around my age. it was kind of sad though, i slept through most of the performance b/c i had only slept for 2 hours the night before b/c of the german test. what's even better, everyone noticed that i fell asleep. after the concert, we headed back to goya, got alcohol from the kaiser's, then headed to the inauguration afterparty at surprise club.
it was horrible. absolutely horrible. no one was there. when we got there, the frat boys, doug, trevor, sam, and jack were about to leave. we managed to convince them to stay. we had a lot of fun actually, even though stanford made up 2/3 of the people there. doug, trevor, and i got yeigerbombs, then we all danced the night away to crappy foreign music. i loved it!
wednesday we went to museum island AGAIN and went to neues museum. nothing new there. saw some rembrandts, some van goghs, lots of monet's and manet's. afterwards, i picked up some ramen, guava juice, and korean mochi from the mekong supermarket in that area. mechelle, asmita, and i then headed back to the center to meet up with amie and get some movie watching done. nothing too special
today, we had host family dinner. the food was AMAZING. i had rabbit for the first time! the bread was delicious. the dessert was delicious. the duck was delicious. but i only had 10 minutes to scarf down what i could. we had to leave from the dinner at 7 for the konzerthaus. the concert was well worth not fully enjoying the meal though.
oy, i need to go to bed, but i will continue this post soon!
note, listen to benjamin britten! his music is beautiful
