Left the villa.
Missing the entourage, feelsbadman.
Made it to Mannheim, visited Heidelberg today.
Nothing of note except the abject lack of companionship.

10 Jul 2011 + retroactive.
Today's Sunday (technically written on Monday).
Saturday morning, left the house and went to Pottsdam. Saw nothing particularly new- visited the gardens.
Saturday evening, went clubbing. Significantly awesome DJ this time around.
Kinda sad that Nico and Paolo are gone from our room, Paolo as of Sunday and Nico as of Saturday.
Missing the ladies that left, as well.
Getting along well with both the French and Spaniard groups.
Gonna head to a cafe tomorrow- not sure if unterricht is obligatorisch tomorrow.

8 Jul 2011
Took a short test this morning, probably did "okay"- I forgot a few prepositions.
Afternoon program took us to a turkish street market- interesting smells (incense, spices, meats, herbs, and other delicacies).
Evening program took us to a strandbar, but I didn't drink anything- just listened to the folks from Spain and Columbia talk in spanish at a pace rapid enough for me to understand absolutely none of it.
I guess that's what it's like when I speak in texas-drawl english, though.
Sleepytime.

Got off easy with a mild slap on the wrist.
May be mending things with the irate swiss whale, dunno.
Had a (disappointing) barbecue today, given that I'm spoiled by Rudy's and other southern cooking.
Missed the concert and fireworks, instead went to a bar.

Early morning, for the record:
Be wary of Turks.
Went to Matrix tonight, it was an unreasonably poorly-jockeyed club.
Went out on the town later, got home late due to issues with the metro.
Took a 10 Euro cab ride, still got chewed out. Whatevs.
Tomorrow promises trouble.

5 Jul 2011, part 1
Classes were fine.
Stayed home in the afternoon, painted a picture instead of going shopping again.
Went to Tacheles in the evening- it's a house for artists, basically- but it's more of an apartment complex than it is a house, and I don't recall a single square inch of negative space in the entire place- here are some pictures.

Dun goofed today.
For the past few days, this rather thick, unhelpful, and clearly baggage-laden shrew has been absolutely obnoxious. She went out of her way to come into the mens' dormitory and wake me up- specifically me, every time, and in a manner intended to be obnoxious.
She's also expressed signs of a clear lack of self-esteem- she doesn't make a big deal about her weight. Props for that. She does, however, make an issue of how she's "never had any real best friends" because she moved around a bunch and has "identity issues" for the same reason.
It came to a head today when she came into my room- on a sunday, where we have an entire day's worth of free time, and woke me up with a spritz to the face- I'm assuming it was water, but that isn't the point.
The fact that she has woken me from comfortable sleep several times, even after I asked her to leave me alone. No bueno.
Took the day off.
Wasn't hungry, didn't eat anything.

I've been neglecting the whole blogging thing for a bit in favor of sleeping- case and point, my post over on the main blog.
At any rate, the current program's morning classes are reasonable. Friday evening was spent at the spectrum science museum- definitely worth the visit, if only to look around and play with all of the neatly-arranged demonstrations.
Today, we went to a soup-kitchen that was turned into a Stasi prison, and I ended up giving in to the urge to try an apple again. Turns out I've got something like this, and it was just an absolutely terrible idea.
Purchased some eyedrops from the local apothecary, everything's all better.
Dunno what's going on tomorrow- just that our ranks are growing from 18 to 40.
This oughtta be awfully cramped.
