Tightening My Shoes…

If you want to forget all your other troubles, wear too tight shoes.  ~The Houghton Line

Things just go from bad to worse here. I woke up this morning, on time, and had one of those weird experiences where I knew that I was awake, but I felt like I was still asleep. The group I was supposed to meet had already left, so I tried to make it to the class building on my own. I feel that I should point out that I am rather known for getting hopelssly lost, so needless to say I wound up wandering around the middle of nowhere Magdeburg. After being repeatedly harassed by some guy who wasn’t speaking any language that I know (although at this point, my brain is so tired from straining to understand German that he might have been speaking perfect English and I wouldn’t have recognized it), I finally found my way to my class, an hour and half late, definately a wonderful first impression in this oh so punctual society. Feeling like a total moron, I struggled through my lectures, gleaning absolutely nothing about the European Union, which I’m pretty sure I was supposed to. At least the only way that this can get worse now is if I get hit by a car. Not that that hasn’t already happened before…
