I never really noticed until the past few months that some of the music that holds some really strong kiddie nostalgia for me is, well, not what one would expect a child of 4-9 years to listen to. I'll add to this list as I find more, but here's a start. Some of it isn't quite as strange as others, but I'm putting it all down.

Early years (when I was between 4-9 years old):
Meatloaf
The KLF
Roxette
Dr. Alban
Genesis
The Dubliners
Roger Whittaker (his Irish collection CD)
Smash Mouth
Queen
Niel Diamond

Later years (9-14 years old):
The Aquabats
Blink-182
Smash Mouth (this one is ambiguous)
Billy Joel
Frank Sinatra

So not cool.

I am rather excited today, though. I figured out how to get into classes AND I found where I can do laundry in my building. FRIGGIN' SCORE.

I really do! So I'll post something interesting... probably soon. But maybe not. I have to think about it first.

This is not a good thing when I can't just stay signed in and post from my laptop all the time, but that's life, I suppose.

So... I'm in Germany, studying at the university in Tübingen. I'm going to *try* to update at least once a week, but I think we all know how likely that's going to be...

Anyway, I've had a few adventures so far. Like purposely getting myself lost, wandering around until I found the tourist information building, buying myself a map (of the entire city, not just the Altstadt), and using it to get back home. I should probably point out here that I am very adept at reading maps.

I have no internet in my dorm, and the nearest internet cafe is a 10-minute bus ride away, but that's just fine with me. It gives me a reason to get my lazy butt out of bed and into town, which by the way is awesome-looking. I'll post pictures as soon as I can upload them, which will probably be in a couple of weeks.

Uh... I love German candy. And so far I like living here just as much as living in Bozeman, because here the efficient bus system, tasty candy, and other things make up for the fact that I can't understand half of what's being said to me.


Note to self: start writing down interesting stories so that I don't forget them when I want to post a new entry here.

Hey guys, how's it going? I got my wisdom teeth out last Tuesday, it hurts like crazy but oh well. I'm a boring person, aren't I?

So I'm trying to make my gaiaonline profile all nice and pretty, but apparently I fail at CSS coding because not all the text is red and the things in there don't line up the way I want them to and some things aren't there at all, unless I just forgot to add them in the first place, in which case I need to go over everything again.

So I had to do this presentation for MLG220 yesterday (MLG = Modern Language German) and my topic was 'a day in the life of an exchange student at Tübingen University, so I went all-out with some very beautiful pictures. I thought I'd share it here because it's so fantastic. But it will be in German, so if you don't understand it you'll have to guess.

Edit: Okay, so some of the German on here is incorrect. I will fix it later when I'm not trying to convince myself to go to BED.

( I am such a fantastic artist. )

Trying to write an essay that's due tomorrow night but I can't concentrate at all~
