Dear Blog and readers,
I have been writing on you (the blog - not the people) a lot, a good thing, but no one really needs to know about flying to Berlin and how I didn't do anything crazy so I won't write much - minus a lot of random stuff, like I fell in love with some crazy good potatoes at some cafe and have my first meal of wiener schnitzel, which reminds me completely of country fried stake without gravy. I know that the craziness of my journey in Berlin is going to be amazing - but you can wait for it. Don't worry the stories will come.
My room though is not very sound proof. It also comes with a mini balcony, a fire hazard of heater which is covered by the window curtains, and I am practically sharing a bed as the two horrible twin beds are placed right next to each other. Yes, Europe is running out of space quickly, I do realize this, hence the reason Will has figured out that I have an irregular breathing pattern - I breath in, hold it, and then breath out, all completely unconsciously. Our poor professor had his luggage lost, again, today. Apparently last year he arrived in England and his luggage never arrived. Now during the flight to Germany someone has stolen his again. I have a feeling he is a spy and the government of the UK is on to him and has been stealing his luggage to prevent him from doing his work or from taking information out. Maybe I should look into visiting all the places in the Bourne movies. On that subject running from the law seems like it would be a crazy thing in Europe. There are security cameras everywhere. EVERYWHERE! (Big Brother is watching! I should probably make sure there isn't one facing my window...) Doing a crime would totally get you caught if anyone knew when it happened or where. That said, I have heard more sirens in a day at Parkland than I have in the UK for a week! For a city, London has a peaceful quiet when it comes to obvious crimes. Then again, I also spent a lot of travel underground and not on the roads.
Back to the subject of beds, the Germans must be really bad at hospitality or sleep really cold, as these beds aren't very comfy, the pillow barely has anything to it, and the blanket, well lets just say it is more like a mattress pad right now because it if folded up. I fear if I unroll it it will be as thin as a sheet. Nothing, not small rooms, lack of wireless (cough, London), or this bed will ruin my trip. I will amend this statement tomorrow if need be. I will probably just get a second one to be a mattress pad and another one so I won't have to layer up. Will likes to sleep cold. Really cold. Normally I wouldn't have a problem but I don't have the same huge number of blankets that I have handy at school. Instead all I can do is have extra layers of clothing by my bed incase I need them. I love my polar fleece long-johns. They add so much warmth! I will probably be wearing them every day I have to go into Ingram this early spring just so I don't freeze.
