I am Still Alive...

Tiff's been sick, so we didn't go to Salzburg or anywhere else for this weekend. Little Dell's been getting introduced to the world, including a couple of quickly removed virii and lots of fresh software. Unfortunately for me and for you, the reader, I also discovered the 500 megabyte download limit they have in the dorms. On Saturday my internet was cut off by noon and on sunday, when I was a little more careful, it lasted until 6. Today I've been in classes and otherwise away from the computer, so I might not break my limit today. Of course, I don't have descent on here yet either, but that's probably a blessing in disguise. I'm not sure I can netplay through the firewall anyway, but single-player mode would be nice.
Oh yes, I have to do schoolwork too.
I'm writing my art journal tonight and tomorrow night. I'm a little behind on it, actually. It's got some decent, or at least entertaining, content to it. Maybe post-trip I'll type some of it up for you.
We're meeting the US Ambassador to Germany tomorrow at a reception. I have mostly mixed feelings about that one, but I guess it sounds impressive, right? Also, they'll have really good food, if it's like most receptions I've been to.
I've been a little homesick lately. Halloween's always fun back in the states, but here it's a joke from overseas that nobody quite gets. While it's amusing to watch the German reaction to this newly imported idea, it's slightly frustrating to try and explain our perception of it to them. Kristen's decided she's going to lead by example, she's going trick-or-treating. I'd worry about her getting shot, but I don't think anyone in this country owns a gun.
I'm going to get myself in trouble with these comments soon, though, so I'd better go grocery shopping before I say anything stupid.
:P
