Week two of classes is over. I am already behind on my reading (though I plan to catch up this weekend). Yoga class on Monday was canceled, but tonight Bea and I are going to our salsa class. I am really excited and I hope it will be lots of fun.
Monday I had my ENT appointment. The doctor was very nice; it was the first time I had an appointment with him and I have a good feeling. My hearing test results did seem slightly better, but the doctor said that it could be due to my form on the day, as well as the different testing machines and persons. He said to finish taking the Trental, so I am back on meds but I do not mind as it is not cortisone and I will be done with the box in a week or so. He said to come back in three months to see how things are then. While I was there, I figured, I might as well have an allergy test done, as my last one was done in 2004 and allergies change over time. Well, turns out I am now allergic to most pollen as well as hamsters and dogs (wtf?). I never noticed anything around Petra’s dog, but according to the test I am. I am also slightly allergic to celery. This really made my day. I was joking with the nurse, how it would be cool if I was allergic to celery as I really hate it, and it would give me the perfect excuse and turns out the only food I have an allergic reaction to (though only a little one) is celery. Anyway, if you want to check out my test results, you can see them here. Considering all these pollen I am allergic to, I am surprised that I have not really been having any issues so far this spring.
On Monday night, Bea and I saw Scoop at the movies. It originally came out here in November, but Heidelberg didn’t manage to show it in English until just now. I really miss my movie theater in Munich here. Anyway, Scoop was really good. I enjoyed it, it was really funny! Speaking of movies, last night I ordered Little Miss Sunshine and The Life of David Gale on DVD from Play.com. I love their sales, LMS has not even been released on DVD here yet, and they are already selling it for €11.
Yesterday in class our prof mentioned excursions to London offered by the English department, and I would kind of like to go. They are both theater related (contemporary and Shakespeare theater) which, to be honest, would not be the main reason for me to go, but London would. I love traveling as you all know, and the last time I was in London was six years ago, so I would really like to go again, especially because I think now that I am older (and wiser, heh), I would look at that city from a different perspective. I would have to talk to my parents about it, as I would need their financial support, but I hope they would let me do it, as it is an excursion related to uni. And knowing more about theater would probably not hurt me either. I have yet to befriend this form of literature; for some reason it is my least favorite, and maybe that needs to be changed.
