A case of the dreary.... Tuesdays?

Yeah so it's Tuesday! Which is my least favorite day of the week because I have 6.5 hours of class. Yessssssssssssss. Although the good news is that Sex and the City and Scrubs are on Tuesday nights ;-) So that makes up for it. almost.
I'm home for my pause inbetween chunks of class and I figured I might as well update because... I'd rather do that than read ;-). Today is rainy and not too cold, but cool, so it just makes me wish I could curl up in bed.
This weekend was very slow and lonely for me. For the first time in approx. 10 years I'm getting homesick. Which I'm sure has to do w/ the cycles of cultural immersion but it's not really missing america. It's missing people. I don't know. regardless, it sucks. Actually though, now that my friends are back from Bonn/Köln and classes are going it's not that bad. Although feel free to send me feel better presents ;-).
On a bright side, I really like my roommates a lot. Dominik and I chatted a bunch this weekend, and we share food/meals a lot. Today I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and I guess it's the first time he had seen me eat one, and he was watching me make it with this look on his face, and finally asked, "so that tastes good?" and I said it was delicious and he said that eventually he was going to have to try it. also, Germans just don't eat peanut butter here really, so the first time he had eaten it was when he studied in Ecuador. Very depressing, to imagine a childhood without peanut butter ;-). So I explained to him how wonderful it was and how you could eat it with anything... and he said, oh, so it's just like, butter. and I said yes, but it tastes better, and he laughed. I seem to be laughed at a lot here ;-). Then again, I'm laughed at a lot at home too, so I guess that's not a huge difference.
Speaking of understanding, about 45 min ago this guy buzzes me because no one else is home and was delivering a bike for Leander. But I could barely understand him because it took him forever to just say leander's name (it's not really a common name here either ;-)) and then he eventually called leander after I insited that he wasn't here... and proceeded to say, "I'm talking to some girl who doesn't understand me... blah blah blah." So I felt stupid. It would almost have been better if I really hadn't understood. the problem was, I couldn't get across clearly enough that I wasn't sure if it was legal for me to sign for the bike or not. Blah. So now I bet Leander thinks I'm stupid. oh well :-). More reasons I should speak more german ;-).
On another bright side, I'm probably going to Munich/Neuschwanstein this weekend! hooray! Details to follow, but Nicole will definitely go with me and maybe Christine will too. So celebration! I'm so excited! Hopefully it'll have stopped raining by then.
I feel happy, I feel happy, I feel...*thud*
