Today is a good day. In fact, today is the best day I've had since the very first day I was here. From now on it will be known as Gelato Day.
It began last night actually when I learned that my only class today was cancelled so I could sleep as late as I wanted to. I slept till 8:30 am which is now kind of usual for me. It's definitely not a third shift schedule anymore.
After a slow morning I made it to campus where I had lunch with my friends and we planned our trip to Hanover for tomorrow. It was a warm, sunny day (HIGHLY unusual for Bremen), so Kate and I walked to Vegesack where we did some banking then went to Haven-Hoovt and met up with Maria.
The Haven-Hoovt is like a mini mall. It's set up just like one only it's on a much smaller scale - there's only 2 floors and one hallway, but it's shopping and it's something that's not campus. There's food there as well, but it tends to be expensive as compared to up the street. Anyway, back to the story:
We first went to the Euroshop where everything is 1 Euro. I found good old fashioned normal ice cube trays which is a miracle. Seriously. I've only found them once before and they were silicon and they made the ice cubes taste funny. These are real ones. The ironic thing is that I was asking my mom to ship me some this morning and this afternoon I found them. Incredible.
Kate needed to get her bangs trimmed and Maria was looking for winter clothing and running shoes. The first hair place Kate went in to they trimmed her bangs for free! Yay! Then we went to a sporting goods store where Maria found shoes that fit her well and were on sale! Yay! While at the sporting good store Guenther called and told me that it was okay for me to move into the Blue House! Yay!! I danced a little.
Then we all got gelato which is the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. It's better than Graeter's guys. It may even be better than Ben & Jerry's. I'm not sure about that yet. We sat outside, in the sun, looking at the harbor, and it was amazing. I went home happy.
That's not all!
When Herr Hammer got home this evening he embarked on a long and complicated process (that is still going on actually) and I have internet here now. Life is good. I'm still moving to the Blue House b/c Blue House is freaking amazing, but life has slightly improved at Herr Hammer's.
Thus Gelato Day is the most wonderful day ever.

glad to see some pictures of you in front of German things! good to hear that things are going better too. I wouldn't take the profs' comments about your attendance too seriously - I mean honestly, now its up to you to show them that you can apply your interests there. Maybe you'll shake the place up some? Pep up.
