In My Language, "Ice Skating" Means "Nap"

Hallo!

Last night was completely uneventful, as we seemed to have forgotten that it was a Monday night, and the rest of Bonn is not on a Study Abroad trip. After wandering downtown for a while, we got to "Tacos" (a Mexican bar aimed at tricking American tourists into paying 7 euro for a drink) for Happy Hour, and all had a drink each (Tequila Sunrise was my second choice, Margaritas were full price. Funny how the Europeans won't put ice in any other drink but they ice the shit out of 4 euros worth of alcohol. Hmm.) and then left to find another, cheaper, bar.

We failed.

About a half hour after beginning our search, some tapered off and the rest went home, sober but not defeated.

This morning I woke up a little early for class, and headed into town with an extra 45 minutes to spare, so I went to the Einstein Kaffee for the best mocha ever (trust me, they've done tests, and it's the best.) and a little reading. Then we had class and a scavenger hunt, where I learned that I am often not a team player. When we got back to the AIB, I fell in love with a student worker named Timo, who directed us (and drew a diagram in the style of Apolinario) toward a whole region of cheap bars where apparently all the youths hang out. More on this as it develops.

After all classes were over, Christy and I found (under Timo's guidance) a chocolate cafe which was INDESCRIBABLE. If I can procure some of her pictures I will post them, but for now let us just leave it at Willy Wonka meets "Chocolat." After all this, we were scheduled to meet back at the AIB if we wanted to go ice skating. I weighed the pros and cons:
Pro: I'd see people!
Con: I'd have to interact with said people while exhausted.
Pro: It would be fun!
Con: It would be fun for about 20 minutes, and then I'd probably turn into a child, holding onto the railing and flagging an assistant to drag me out of the rink with a bungee cord.

Then I weighed my "Going Home and Taking a Nap" Option

Pro: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLAN.
Con: NOTHING.

The pros had it, and I took the best nap of my life.

Ciao!
