All i have to say is: thank god i have marie here. haha. she has been absolutely clutch since i've gotten here. she met me at the airport and we took a million complicated bahns (trains) and we headed off to her dorm. On the way we stopped at a baeckerei where for one euro... ONE EURO.... i had the most amazing pastry delight that my mouth has ever experienced. Then we got all cuted up, i slapped on my glorious new pair of italian shoes... which i kept quoting all night.... saying that I could feel the wrath of Mussolini in my souls. Anyway, we went to some dorm party across town which was fantastic... i met so many other students, drank and danced the night away. I was hit on by a cute Lithuanian girl named Simona, and I met a fantastic girl named Katarina. Katarina is 100% Slovak, so her and i discussed the home of my forefathers... and we actually researched the origins of my last name. We exchanged emails and hopefully I can go visit the land of my heritage some day. Anyway, we didn't go home until like 3am, and then i passed out on the floor, until a little while ago when i woke up, and took a shower and wrote this blog. now we have to get going and go shopping so i can make marie dinner :) love you and miss you all. :)
