It's [always] GREAT to be a Michigan Wolverine!

Yay for MICHIGAN! I am quite happy. 6-0! I didn’t stay up to see the conclusion of the game because it was 31-13 with 3 minutes to go, so I went to sleep because I was tired. :D It’s quite exciting. But, I must admit, they’re only doing well because I’m not there. I’m bad luck. Seriously. They need to throw me across an ocean to win consistently. But I can still enjoy it from afar.

Last night my Mitbewohner invited me out to the bar with her and her friends. At first I didn’t really want to go. I was comfortable in my room with my book and my computer. But around 10:15 I decided to go. It was quite interesting. People came and went, but overall there were 7ish people from Spain, 2 people from Germany, 1 guy from France, 1 girl from Bolivia, and me from America. The only common language was English and that didn’t even work that well. So I was sitting there listening to these people babble on in Spanish and sometimes my Mitbewohner or the girl from Bolivia would translate for me. It was fun though (but I can’t remember many names).

After finishing my book this afternoon, I had planned to call Stephane and see if he wanted to do something. But then as I was working up the courage, my phone rang. I answered and it was Sonny. He wanted to know if I wanted to go for a walk, and I said sure. The walk was nice, but we didn’t have much to talk about. And, as it turned out, it was a good thing I hadn’t called Stephane in the afternoon because he was probably sleeping.

I saw hot air balloons today (look at previous post for a picture).

There’s an ad that says ’50,000 people can win Green Cards for the USA! Fulfill your dream and live and work in the USA!’

When I went to the Münster yesterday, I picked up a brochure thing and on the back it had a poemish thing:
Wenigstens nachts
lass dein Herz ruhen…
Wenigstens nachts
hör auf zu rennen;
besänftige die Wünsche,
die dich verrückt machen;
versuch,
deine Träume schlafen zu lassen.
Gib dich preis,
Lieb und Seele,
gib dich preis,
endgültig,
ohne Rückhalt,
in Gottes Hände!
Which, when translated, is roughly something like:
At least at night,
let your heart be at rest…
At least at night,
Stop running;
Calm the wishes
That make you crazy;
Try
To let your dreams sleep.
Relinquish,
Love and soul,
Relinquish,
Finally,
Without reserve,
Into God’s hands!
