I would be hard-pressed to care less about this specific test.

I gorged myself on Mexican food tonight at one of the two Mexican restaurants in Freiburg. Ah, it was good. Spicy… mmm.

The test I had today wasn’t bad at all. I had to make up a few words, but one might have actually been almost right.

I don’t like teenagers (the high school variety). They bother me. A lot of the German teenagers here act or at least dress like little punks. I’m so glad I’m not in high school anymore. I’m so tired of idiocy and attitudes.

My new Mitbewohner moved in today when I was gone. I’m not sure if it is a guy or a girl, but I’m leaning towards girl (because of the size of the shampoo bottle). And I’m also not sure if it is a German or a foreigner. But I’m leaning towards foreigner because of the Spanishy writing on the shampoo bottle. Shampoo bottles really can tell you a lot about a person (watch it be a German guy… which I certainly wouldn’t mind). I hope she/he isn’t stupid or annoying. [Later in the evening] Well, SHE has moved in. And yes, she is a foreigner. She can hardly speak English or German. In fact, her English might be better than her German. But she seems nice.

I got an email from my mother this morning. Practically the first thing she talked about was alcohol consumption in Germany. Thank you, mother. (Note the sarcasm). My gosh, I’d wish she would knock it off. I am not 12. I can make good decisions without being told what they are and I can still make bad decisions even after someone lectures me about what to do. And actually, the more she goes on and on about it, the more I just want to go out and drink, not because I especially want to, but because she keeps telling me not to. It’s as though if I don’t, I would submitting to censure and the demands of others. And, as we know, I am too stubborn, hot-headed, and rebellious to do either of those. But also in my email, she commented that Manuel is cute. Eww, do not say that, mother. I don’t want to know who you think is cute.

I finished Final Fantasy 7 Battle and received 6 points! Be afraid, Ben. Be very afraid! Muwhahahaha!


We played that game in my grammar class that I think we refer to as 'I never'. It's the second time we've played it in one of my classes here. It's fun, but a few of my toes got beat up.

I really liked your theory on Shampoo bottles. It made me laugh. :)

You know your Mom's just doing the best job she can worrying about your health and safety. It's gotta be tough for her to chat with you about Alcohol since its something she hasn't had any exposure to.

In any case be smart, be safe, and remember STDs don't stay in Germany - they'll ride right back on the plane with you.
