Making Plans

I've been really lazy because I've been sick (blahh) the last few days. I've watched a lot of How I Met Your Mother. There is some sort of weird European obsession with it (along with the Simpsons, etc.), so I figured I'd better catch up. It's actually a hilarious show. Too bad no one in the US has time for sitcoms.

Anyway, I've decided I need to absolutely plan out every moment in order to avoid this laziness. And I don't mean crazy-tour-guide-Barbie planning, but just having something to do each night and weekend. For example, tonight I am going to Antonia's for martinis before going to Lunds nation's penthouse.

Also, I just paid Petra for a sittning at Västgötas next week. Get this, our theme is 'Neighbor countries'. Which means you have to pick a country that neighbors yours and dress up in that stereotype. So I have two choices: Canada and Mexico. I also considered Texas, but I don't think everyone would get it. There is also the Bahamas, Cuba, etc., I suppose, but that's not REALLY a neighbor. So I'm going on a search for anything Maple Leaves or Maracas/sombrero.

I am thinking about trying to go to Copenhagen or Stockholm this weekend, too, but I need to find a companion first. I'm going to ask all the Germans tonight. I know that Eric is going to Stockholm already, but they might be taking Mathias' car, and I don't really want to drive to Stockholm (it's at least five hours).

Kara is coming from Prague next weekend (!!!!) and then she leaves and I have my exam in this class. I'm super excited to show her around Lund and go to a nation and stuff...maybe we will go to Copenhagen then for a day. Or Göteborg. Who knows.

I also booked my flight to Dublin Oct 22-25 to see Casey and everyone when she's there...should be quite a good time. I paid too much for that airfare, but made up for it because it's only costing me like 44 dollars to go to Prague in November. There's also my ESN trip to Russia at the end of November, which I cannot wait for. Who gets to go to Russia? ME! Chloe, I knew reading your Russian book freshman year would pay off...even if I only remember the alphabet...sort of. I also want to go to Berlin and Holland and Norway. But those plans will come.

My other big plans are having an all-american drinking games party for my birthday, go to the Munich-ers' (Müncheners'? something) Oktoberfest party, complete with pretzels and other Bavarian food.

I'm also definitely going to the flea market/farmers market/etc soon. I'm going to get some decorations for my super-super depressing room. And another towel, one just isn't enough.

The other thing I want to do is start hanging around Anita and Nora more. I've met them both, and always creepily facebook stalk them, and they are always doing cool things that I would love to tagalong on. I need to be pro-active in this endeavor. But anyway, Lunds Penthouse tonight! (They have the coolest stamp of the nations I've been to. I'll start taking pictures of them. You can see the VGs crown on Monika's wrist in the picture below if you look real close).

Anyway, love you all, update me on your lives!
