The past few days have been really nice. On Wednesday I met up with Julia downtown and we walked around a little, around Marienplatz where we saw a huge Christmas tree at the city hall.

From there we went down to Stachus to watch the ice-skaters there. I thought these bear skating aids were so adorable!

Then we took the subway to Odeonsplatz and after wandering around in the dark in Hofgarten a little we went to Schwabing for a bit.

Finally met up with Sylvia at the Escobar for dinner and cocktails. I had enchiladas and three cocktails, I splurged a little but seeing as I cannot go there very often I wanted to treat myself. I love their food and drinks! After a few hours we went home, and I decided to take a look at Sylvia’s new place (she moved a few months ago), as it was sort of on the way home anyway. We just chatted for a while and I stayed a little longer than I had planned and ended up missing my last train home so I had to call my dad to pick me up at the nearest subway station. Thankfully he did.

Yesterday I went to the mall, I just ended up buying some toiletries that I had planned to stock up on while I am here [makeup, my favorite perfume ...] because they are either way more expensive or not available at all in Spain. I also bought a new electric toothbrush with a timer which was on sale; it tells me when I have brushed two minutes. I love it! Today I went downtown and bought a pack of brush heads as they were on sale as well, along with some more toiletries that I had wanted to buy but forgot to buy yesterday.

I have also been reading a bit in the past week [I finished reading two books, am currently still reading two more and am about to start another], I enjoy having the time to just curl up with a good book. Sadly, I do not really have the time, I just take it anyway. I am really starting to get a bad conscience though - I have finals coming up in less than two weeks and I haven’t done a single thing for them. Being home in Munich, all my duties in Spain seem so far away, and besides, Christmas break has never been a time to study for me. [Whoever decided to place finals right after Christmas was an idiot!] The fact that these finals really do not matter at all other than for my ego is not a motivating factor either - I can get credit for only one of them. Basically I would love to just be lazy and do nothing but enjoyable things, like spend time with my friends or out in Munich but I can’t. I am really looking forward to the week I will be here at the end of January because I will really be able to do nothing then, and feel good about it too!

Anyway, here is hope that tomorrow I will finally start studying but I also want to hang out with Tina so I will have to be really disciplined. New Year’s Eve is coming up in just three days and my friends have not really been very productive about planning what we will be doing because one is still on vacation. I assume we will do some sort of raclette or fondue [surprise surprise!] but I hope I will know tomorrow night.
