We are the champions, my friend

Saturday, I went up to the campus library in order to get something to read. What else do you go to the library for, especially during summer? I wanted to get Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and even checked online before to make sure they had it. Three copies. Yes. I found where the books were supposed to be, but, lo and behold, no Hitchhiker's Guide. Dumb. So then I texted my brother to see if he could recommend anything. They were out of that book too. Even more dumb. So, I wandered about and came across the Harry Potter books. Guess what? They have them in German. That's right. English, and German. Not even French! Ha! So I go to check out my book, and they kindly let me know that I have to turn it in on Monday because I'm not enrolled in Summer or Fall classes. Ok, fine, but why two weeks before Spring semester is over? First my job, now my books... Yes, I'm not going to class, but "you didn't have to cut me off!" (wow. i just quoted a pop song..) I did kinda want to sing that to them, rather loudly, but that may have been a bit awkward. So I made a goal for myself: finish the book before the library closes Monday.
I wasn't able to do a whole lot of reading right away, since I had plans with a friend of mine that I haven't seen for a couple weeks. We had dinner at her apartment, watched a dumb movie, and then came over to my apartment to have a mini dance party in my living room. Our best dancing was to Coldplay's Paradise. We did some really great interpretive dancing. And the best part is that the guys in the apartment across from mine saw us dancing and then started dancing in their apartment! Kudos to them. After Haley left, I read.
Sunday, I read and went to church. I read some more. Then a guy came over to tell us that they were having a cookie night in their apartment in about an hour. I decided I could make time to make some cookies and hang out with some friends. After hanging out for a while, I came back here and read. Around 2:30, just as I was deciding whether to read a few more pages or go to bed, my quite talkative roommate appeared. This video accurately describes how I was feeling.

Guess what I spent all day today doing? Reading :) Gosh it feels good to read for hours on end without having to worry about what you should write the upcoming essay on the book about. I felt pretty beastly when I finished the book at 7:45. Ziel erreicht! Goal accomplished! It helps that these books aren't exactly college-level reading. I read this book, in English of course, in the fourth grade... But it definitely made me feel good about my German skills. I don't think I would've read it too much faster auf Englisch. 

But now what? I've got nothing to do... sort through my crap again? Start packing up? I'm going home on June 7th. Still plenty of time... 

Last call for hanging out.... I have nine days.
