Always a happy end

Last night we at Frisbee practice, we had three teams of four play. One of the teams was white, the other was black, and the other was the colored shirts together. Someone started chearing for them, saying, "Go Jamaica!" And then we all started to cheer "Cool Runnings" and Kirsten suggested that we call our team that, because even though there were struggles, it was always a happy ending. Live the Dream! I just finished watching Cool Runnings online, and I have never seen it before. It was good, your basic come out of nowhere with no chance story. The East Germans made fun of the team the whole time, but in the end, when the Jamaicans proved to have more dignity and determination than the other teams, the captain from East Germany said, "We'll see you in four years." Unfortunately, it was the 1988 Olympics, so he would not be seeing them again in four years.

I will be packing soon, because it is officially Easter break! I am leaving for Berlin tomorrow, and will be spending a few days hanging out there, hopefully picking up some stuff I couldn't find in Grefiswald (like a medium sized moleskin notebook, is it really that hard to find?) and then on Wednesday will be flying into Venice and then taking the train on to Rimini.
