Ohhmmm...

Relatively quick post today, as my computer and I are having a bit of a fight (it's like a college roommate who leaves popcorn in the microwave or keeps dishes stacked on your windowsill; you try to be polite because it's stupid, but a Cold War very soon commences).

Yesterday we had a long fieldtrip into Koln to visit an art museum featuring work by Artist Couples (think Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera) and got a really fascinating tour with the backstories of most of their lives. We moved on to the Impressionist exhibit and looked at original Monet paintings and all felt a little worse about ourselves and personal lack of achievement. Mostly I did.

After standing inches away from priceless works of art (we ate pancreas!) we headed back to the AIB after participating in a remarkably well-coordinated Chicago parade that played "Shake It Up, Baby" on a loop.

I then had my favorite class thus far, my 20th century European history class, and came home for dinner. Because I am a complete idiot, I left my phone downstairs and didn't get the phone call about going out to the bars last night and went to bed after reading a considerable chunk of my book, which is very good thank you for asking.

Today I had no class but went to school for a Yoga class and felt all centered and peaceful and Ohm-y. Tonight we head out with at least one authentic German and I post a much more interesting blog tomorrow, after the computer and I have a chat about personal cleanliness and consideration for one another.

Tschus!
