Excuse my messy shelf.  If I was going to stay here for more than 3 months, I would have bought organizer boxes.

Anyways - I bought Christmas lights to cheer up my room! 

I love the holiday season.

The simple things in life are the best.

Clubbing in SoHo.  

Blog post about our crazy night found here: http://bit.ly/gTDPvG

A group of us spent the day in London visiting museums for our latest Graphic Design Project.  We have to design navigational signage for one museum.  I picked The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.

Love flowers!

I love stuff like this. It just makes my day - I wouldn’t be able to buy a watermelon otherwise. It’s good they think about people living on their own.

I went shopping in Germany today.  Jackie had to work so I was alone, but it was nice to have some time to myself - not that I haven’t had tons of fun with Jackie. I just like to be alone sometimes. 

But as I mentioned in my tweets, people kept on STARING at me.  It was the same when we hit the pubs on Saturday night.  Germans are distinctly German and even though I’m a 1/4 German you can’t tell.  Wow - I said German a lot.  Hence - I stick out quite a bit.

ALSO! Nearly every shop I went into I set off the store alarm.  Even before I had purchased stuff.  The worst part was my mental freak out when the shop people would come out to me and start talking in German and I only know how to say “hello,” “see you tomorrow,” and “bye”.  So I couldn’t even defend myself and I was praying I wouldn’t have to call Jackie at work from the police station say Come pick me up!

We did a pub crawl on Saturday night. Fun fun fun!  

There was a great live acoustic set at the Irish Pub.  I actually knew most of the songs! I was so happy. It’s nice to get an unexpected touch of home when you least expect it.

We spent the day in Trier, Germany.

So lovely! Blog post to follow. 

We’re getting ready for a night out right now :)
