So now my entire family is sick. My dad had been home all week, and my mom was not feeling well either, and since today I’ve joined the club.

I slept like crap last night, have been having a headache since then, and this morning threw up a couple of times, I could not even keep down herbal tea. So off to the doctor I go. Now I am on antibiotics for a week.

I have been able to keep down the medication and the water I drank along with it, as well as the pretzel I am eating right now (so far anyway), so I am hoping I will get better soon. I slept all day and I just hope the antibiotics kick in quickly because I think I am pretty dehydrated already as I have not been drinking much the past two days (unintentionally, I just realized it last night,and today two glasses of water.

I guess I am glad I am sick here and not in Heidelberg, because here I get more attention (when I am sick I really like having mom & dad around to care for me), but at the same time, I probably got this from my dad, so who knows if I would be sick if I wasn’t here.Plus they are sick too, so they cannot really spoil me as much as I would like.

Anyway, I wanted to wrote about a few things but that will have to wait till I feel better. Just so you know I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth.

I am in Munich now… Anyway, first, the best news of the week month:

My roommate is moving out!

(Yes this totally requires centered and bolded text!)
Yesterday when I went upstairs to my neighbor’s because she is taking care of my plants while I am gone she told me she just received a letter from my roommate’s parents (since she is not yet 18, they signed the rental agreement), that they are canceling the rental agreement and she will move out on March 31st! Seriously, couldn’t have gone any better, this was exactly what I was hoping for! When I get back to Heidelberg, she will be gone! No more annoying rude nasty roommate!
Now I just hope the next one will be nicer, but then can it really get any worse? Anyway, I had to share this happy news with y’all! You guys know how long I had been waiting for this!

Now back to what I’ve been up to in the past week…

I got to hang out with most of my friends before I left which was great. Wednesday Sheela came over and we had lunch together and watched Volver. In the evening I met up with Caty and we had her birthday present dinner at Mandy’s. Last time at Mandy’s for me for a month. I love that place so much, it has definitely become my favorite place to eat out at. Thursday I worked and in the evening went out for drinks with Bea. Her boyfriend and some others joined us a little later, and it was a great time! Had more alcohol & stayed longer than planned, which resulted in me only getting 4 hours of sleep and oversleeping by one hour. (This is where I would like to say more about that, but I’ll save that for a private entry which I will write later.)
After work, I met up with Sheela for lunch, and then we went to H&M. I ended up buying this sweater in this really pretty blue and a brown top. I realized I should have gotten a €5 voucher when I signed up for the H&M newsletter but I didn’t, and I also realized that after I paid. So I figured I’d print out the voucher and come back the next day, to return what I bought and buy it again.

Friday afternoon I had three loads of laundry to do and pack and when I got home someone had just put a load in the washing machine on some super-slow program that would take over two hours. So I decided I might as well go back to H&M now, so that’s what I did. I finally got started on the laundry at like 1800 or even a bit later, and needless to say (at least to those who know how slow German washers and driers are) I wasn’t done with washing, packing, and taking a shower until 0400. Another night of only 4.5 hours of sleep, here I come!

Saturday I worked in the morning, came home, and checked train times online. I was going to take the train at 1514, but turns out that apparently on the weekend there is no train at 1514. So I ended up taking the one at 1714 and was home at 2130. Meh. I had plans to meet up with Brandon and a friend of his (who are in Munich this weekend), needless to say, that didn’t work out. But I guess I can meet up with them in Heidelberg when I’m back there.

I had been cold all day yesterday, probably because my body was really exhausted (I am actually surprised about how well I was still doing). So last night I finally got to catch up on sleep. I slept 11 hours I think. In newly washed sheets. Mmmm. I love the smell of detergent in sheets.

Anyway, today I am meeting up with Julia to see the Andreas Gursky exhibition at the Haus der Kunst (House of Art). My co-worker told me about that, and I remember seeing one of his photographs at the MoMA (I think) in New York City and I really liked that so I wanted to see his exhibition. There is also an exhibition on a Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama, which looks … interesting (apparently she mostly does art involving polka-dots, heh). But seeing as we’ll be paying for both exhibitions, we might as well check that one out as well. After that, I will stop by my brother’s on the way home, to drop off some things and get the Incubus ticket he bought for me.

Speaking of which, I decided to go see Incubus tomorrow even though I was going to have to go by myself. My brother got the ticket for me on Friday. Later that same day, Susi sent me a message saying she was now going after all, because Andrea won two tickets, and she was taking Susi. So now I don’t have to go by myself after all. This all ended up working out really great! Soooo… yay, I get to see Incubus tomorrow night!!!
