basically, i love my life (here) and i never want to leave.

highlights:
+ travel in two weeks to prague/vienna/budapest, and then a whole week in barcelona where i get to see 3435 of my favorite bands and lie on the beach!!!
+ new bff luca; i'm so lucky to have met my male counterpart. it's very rare that i click with somebody so well. we get lazy and watch movies and smoke and talk about life and eat.
+ hygglie and dance parties the overall laid-back atmosphere
+ student life in europe, period.
+ i'm really going to miss my bike
+ yesterday marked the official inauguration of my dormitory. to me, that just meant free food and beer for twelve hours straight.
+ i like beer... way too much
+ i attended a Shabbat dinner tonight. um, which poor college student would turn down free alcohol and a 5-course meal? anyhow, it turned out to be a more than enriching experience for me; i'm learning a lot about judaism. i love customs, culture, tradition. the feeling of community makes it even better.

i have two papers to write in two weeks. wish me luck (i'll need it, considering all the distractions i have at the moment)
