Cleaning up from feast #100 and remembered I have...
GAHHHH but for when??
If I don’t figure out alternate plans for after my program ends, it looks like I’m coming home May 1st? And flying into Dulles? Too stressful to think about this! How do I only have a month left?
Somebody do this for me…..
Working on my morning skills
After a truly bizarre dream of my program ending and having to go directly back to UD, I woke up very confused in Greece. I tend to not be a morning person and if am surrounded by too many people yelling at me I have to fight the urge to punch people in the face. Luckily none of these other 7 people suck too much, so I’ll try to be nice :)
Sike, totally good mood. Laughing at the fact it...
Made it to Greece!
Beautiful weather. Beautiful house. Beautiful friends. What a blessing.
After the couple hours of trying to get everyone here, we scrounged up some pasta from a local store and some crappy wine for a nice feast. Beautiful evening….I haven’t been somewhere this quiet in 3 months.
Ended the night with 2 episodes of 30 Rock that the other Anna from Oberlin brought. It’s a good...

THIS BOOK. Second Foer quote about thinking that I’ve felt the need to reblog. I need to read his other books….
Not enough time in one day!!! Especially with...
Plane landed from Russia at 5pm. Home by 6pm. Have to leave my apartment for London at 5am.
3 countries. 20 hours. Where’s my caffeine?
Feeling blessed to be able to do any of this. Also….I can’t wait to see SASHA NADER IN 12 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Russia joke of the day
“alright guys tonight we’re going to the späti and buying a handle of vodka each. Everybody drinks as they walk and we’ll see who is the farthest when they wake up.”
“yeah like exactly how soviet is where I am right now?”

Things that I do NOT enjoy:
Suddenly finding myself totally alone at a night club in St. Petersburg at 5:45am with around 75 cents and no idea how to get back to my hotel.
Couldn’t walk back to the hotel because it’s freaking RUSSIA and I would get kidnapped, everybody made that clear.
Nobody spoke any English!!
Just started crying out of sheer panic as the club emptied out (was...

I never thought that I would be fond of “samantha” I can see you peering over your thick rimmed Rayban’s and muttering it as I put my foot in my mouth for something I should get slapped for. Oh Anna, I miss thee. reply with the best time to skype this week.
WTF SAM DID YOU GET RID OF YOUR FACEBOOK??
My reply got cut off and I don’t know how else to contact you. Here’s...

Russia joke of the day
“Hey how intense do you think customs is? Like why does it take so long to look at our passports?”
“I don’t know, they probably sniff it to make sure it’s not laced with cocaine.”
“no no, to make sure it’s not laced with capitalism”
People at this cafe must think I'm really cool
Got back from Ireland this afternoon and proceeded to pass out for a couple hours. Made some dinner, took a shower, attempted to do laundry (dear God, please don’t let the apartment be flooded when I get back) and made my way over to Rosenthaler Platz.
We’re meeting to leave for the airport at 9am and I find traveling absolutely exhausting lately, so that means tonight is a night in...
PS Sam Lenzi you are awesome and I miss you.
Also, I can now open a beer bottle with anything....

Remember that time people were bitches and didn't...
But Ireland is awesome!!!!!!
Remember that time I didn't talk to my parents for...
Why does nobody fill me in on stuff until afterwards!!
Peace Out Ya'll
Well only a little. Now that this application is finished (hopefully this letter of rec is too) and I don’t have any papers for a while, I am making an effort to detach myself from my computer. I’ve been on a bit of an “internet bender” recently, as Andrew called it. It’s not healthy. I’ve done a shitty job of being fully present in Berlin. I still feel like...
Just had a meeting about our trip to Russia
As long as I don’t buy “alcohol” or “caviar” from strangers, walk around at night alone, take taxis from strangers, try and take artifacts out of the country, flush toilet paper, drink the tap water, get drunk in public, take pictures of any important buildings or transportation systems, lose my documentation, forget my hotel ID, etc…I should manage to get...
Time to pull this crap together.
Went out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Just a tish much for me, seeing as I spent every weekend night last semester in blissful relaxation on the 6th floor.
Now. Must. Finish. Paper.
Don't let a semester in Berlin leave you cynical
Today Holly and I went to the beautiful suburb of Wannsee, which is just at the end of my Sbahn line. We went to the Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz, which despite being a gorgeous mansion is just so completely ugly in a way that can only be understood by visiting it. The Wannsee Conference is where they discussed the “Final solution to the Jewish question” and basically when they decided...
I lasted two full months before I failed
and left my iPhone on the S-Bahn. Pretty impressive considering I’m Anna and am a colossal mess of forgetfulness. The fact that I’ve managed to keep track of my german handy and my iphone should earn me some sort of award. That damn iPhone is so useful with all it’s Metro map apps and German dictionary!
but alas at 4:15am it finally fell out of my back jeans pocket as I...
Going to a Charlie Sheen themed party tonight?
Didn’t even know those could exist. Clearly I haven’t been paying attention to things in America very much.
Just need to get a little bit more of this paper done. AND CAN THAT FREAKING DAYTON PROFESSOR EMAIL ME BACK ABOUT MY LETTER OF REC??? ITS DUE ON TUESDAY!!! seriously people.
Holly and I are working on our MetDev papers
1. Neither of us even brought the prompt
2. She just said “I think I procrastinate more here than I do at home. I mean it’s Friday and this paper is due on Money. What was I thinking??”
Yikes. Talk about a difference in perspective.
Tired of looking at my computer screen and all this stupid work. Thank goodness for the wochenende.
Time for a Brinner party!

This is the question I’ve put off the longest for this internship app. This answer will probably have to be 100% bullshit.
Sike that crap is SUBMITTED
thegiantdwarf:
This is exactly how it happens too…
I don’t know exactly what this is referring to, but man do I love it.
So the Internship search begins
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m applying to a research internship at UC for the summer. My heart is breaking on the inside.
It wouldn’t be until really late June, but still. So much to do list, so little time.
SIKE. It’s not like I’m getting this shiznit.
