No more snow for me
Well, maybe a little, I heard that it's supposed to be snowing a little this week,…
A warm hello to all of you out there! I am back in Germania, ready to tackle down the exams, cramming and freaking out that I will fail. What else is new? I spent Christmas, New Year’s and my birthday at home, a most of you know and have seen me there! Those 4 weeks were one of the best ones in my life, I enjoyed myself so much! Ate, slept, and got together with friends. I rarely went to bed before 3am and rarely got up before 9:30…It’s been a while since I got so much rest, and seeing how Europe is sometimes so crazy, I loved every minute of it!It did me good! My mom is the most amazing cook(no wonder I gained 10lbs) and spoiled me rotten. I loved going to Costco with my dad, just sitting in the car, driving with him was great. I didn't have to talk, but if I did, he just listened. And gave me advice. I remember 2 night before I was leaving, the two of us were up until 3:30-eventhough he had to get up at 7 that following morning!!! My sister was always there for a good laugh, coffee, lunch and shopping! I can’t believe how grown up she’s gotten in the past year…It scares me a little because I seise to be the ‘older, more mature, grown up’ sister.
And as always, I got to see my little brother WAY too little!But the times we did hang out it was great! Loved talking to him, goofing around and going for a ride in his Jeep!(that is such a beautiful car!)
All of you my friends in 'The Mothership' as Pete calls it were unbelievable!!! Thank you so much for taking time off from your busy lives to meet with me!! Thank you for picking me up in your cars to go out or to dinner(or to a fun filled ‘family brunch’ in Millwoods!) Thanks for all the coffee, lunches and tanning sessions! You know, the more I think about the past 4 weeks, the more homesick I’m getting again! Europe, eventhough still great and interesting, is becoming ‘abroad’ and I’m itching to be coming home to you! With the exception of one or 2 people(if you're reading this-you know who you are) I managed to get in contact with almost everyone! Even in a spur of the moment I talked to Dr. Wormsie on the phone!!(Shreys and I paged him for something he couldn't get me anyways...) how cool is that!
Thank you all for coming to my birthday at the Buddha!! So many people, so little time, and Such fun! We celebrated with Matilda(who turned 18)her friends, Pete’s friends(whom I *almost all* know and love) and my people(with a few surprises)!
I haven't sent out my traditional New Year's email this year. Sorry, with so much excitement packed into a short 4 weeks, I couldn’t. Maybe however after exams are over I’ll sit down and write it. We’ll see, because 2007 is shaping up to be a busy year if all goes my way !I hope to be doing much more travelling, meeting up with people I haven’s seen in years, and finally (hopefully)starting to work in my chosen career! As much as I love selling perfume, I think it’s time to move on to bigger and better things! I noticed that I have lost the respect and appreciation to the ‘luxury items’ that we sell…perfume has become just another obvious necessity…like air freshener…and I don’t like that attitude.
Currently I am sitting on the train going 1st class to Heidelberg.(extra treat fro the train company...and I hear the 2nd class wagons got broken by the storm...
My battery is about to die, so this is where I say adieu, until next time, and keep checking the blog, I will write more often this year!out or to dinnerour cars( off from your busy lives to meer of is freaking out that I will fail.

Hey Aleks,
welcome back... although you are feeling homesick, there is some friends that always have a bet for you down in Barcelona.
