Postcards from Far Away

I am now officially on semester break from the Uni. That pleases me to no end. :)

Tomorrow (crossing my fingers), I am going to visit/surprise German mom and finally give her the present I brought back from the US for her. No, I did not wrap it all pretty this time… It’s a glass, and I wrapped it in bubble wrap… That’s as good as it gets this time. She’ll understand. I mean, I also put it in a bag. Shit. Now I sound like a jerk. I’ll go buy some tissue paper when I’m out today… I’m going to make peanut butter fudge to take with me, too. I’ll be visiting her English class, and it’ll be the last time I see them as students at the school. It’s kind of like Farewell: Part 2. They are absolutely one of my favorite classes at that school.

Now I just have to figure out what to wear tomorrow… Always a tough decision. I have to look fabulous when I go. It’s just what’s expected of me, and I don’t get to dress up so much anymore, so it’s always nice to be able to wear a blazer and jeans and heels and fit in.

Hopefully, I’ll also be able to pick up my sheet music from the music teacher so that I can play with the orchestra again. I brought my flute back, and it’s sitting all lonely under my desk. I tried to find something in Mainz, but they all looked too professional and like they required tooooo much commitment. I can play in the WHG orchestra and only go down to Ludwigshafen like every other week or every three weeks and no one will be mad because it’s kind of far away for me. It will also give me something to do in the semester break, which I need. I also miss playing my flute - a lot.

I want to go shopping, but I have to save my money. I might go anyway…

Okay. Enough typing. Time to go shopping for peanut butter fudge things.
