Marches aren't that bad...

I was supposed to be productive this week. I was supposed to get things done. I was supposed to not sit around all day and do nothing. And, well, it started ok. I read my German stuff sometime over the weekend. On Monday I read a chapter from my syntax book and started writing my German essay. I Tuesday I read a chapter from my phonology book. And it all went downhill from there. I don’t remember what I did Wednesday, but it wasn’t homework. I think I read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and that took up most of my “free” time. Yesterday I had planned on doing homework, but then Ross called and the day was pretty much gone after that. There was an adventure that night, but I’ll tell that later. So pretty much all I’ve done all week is a little bit of homework, read some books, and watch movies. Productive, yes I know. I did read for fun though and it was nice to be able to do that again. After I finished The Two Towers, I read The Magician’s Nephew, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and I would still like to read the last two in The Chronicles of Narnia. I’ve read them before, but not for a long time.

The rest of my birthday present came in the mail yesterday. Altogether, it was a PS2 game, a DVD, two books, and a CD. Quite enjoyable indeed.

It’s pretty pathetic when you’re trying to find a word to fit and you can only think of the German one and not the English. Yeah, I just did that and I had to go to a German/English dictionary to find the English word.

Last night as I went to leave Ross’s, but when I got in my car (and started it), I noticed that the windshield was iced over. At that moment, Jake walked out of their shed thing and I waved him over. He, being the one with gloves, tried to scrape off the ice but the scraper broke. Then I asked him to wipe off the snow, but that didn’t help much. As a last resort, I asked him to see if he could get my windshield wipers free from the ice. Nothing. I couldn’t just sit there and wait for the windshield to defrost because my quality car no longer has the ability to blow air, heated or otherwise. And so I drove away with my seatbelt not working and with a clear about 8 inches in diameter on my windshield (I almost said centimeters… what am I, Canadian?).

I started packing today. We’ll probably leave Sunday afternoon and get there just in time for the rush. There are a couple reasons that I don’t want to go back and they are 1) I’ll have to make a decision about study abroad and 2) I’ll have to start working on my stupid term paper.

Speaking of papers, I have to write an essay for German about my favorite object and I have chosen my contacts. What should I put in the essay? What should I say? What should my content be? Seriously, I need some input here. I have next to nothing.

Ben still has my Pirates of the Caribbean DVD. I'll have to get that.
