Sixteenth Day in Dortmund

Sept. 16th, 2012

I actually got to sleep in today. It was so nice. Though, my body did wake me up at 9, I was able to roll over and sleep till noon. I got up and took care of minor things. One involved lending Chris my hair dryer. It turns out, his clothes are still not dry from when he did the wash a few days ago. It really sucks, and I’m glad that my roommate lets me use her stand dryer thing.

This is what I'm referring to

 I then made my way to Carl’s apartment, all for the sake of internet (and of course, the company of Carl). I actually didn’t see a whole lot of him, I skyped with my parents, my sister, and my professor from Columbia College. I also updated my blog (finally!) and wrote a lot of emails. I guess that’s what happens when you go incognito for a week. It was so nice to see my family over Skype. They told me about their work week and I related my trips to Cologne and Düsseldorf. We also planned for my trip back in October. After I finally finished all my computer stuff, Carl offered me some dinner. It was a noodle casserole with peas and chicken and really delicious. He suggested watching a movie with our dinner and said I could choose. The problem was, I kept picking ones he had watched within the last two weeks. It was uncanny. Out of his hundreds of films, I picked three in a row that he had recently watched. I finally left it up to him and we chose Be Kind Rewind. We didn’t get to finish it because I wanted to get home before dark, but from the parts that I saw, it was really funny.

Nothing much else to report, a lazy Sunday indeed. See you later! Schüss!

German Word of the Day: Bügeleisen- "Iron." I need to purchase a Bügeleisen since all of my clothes are wrinkly.
