Unplanned can be great

Wow, right now I feel great! I thought this weekend was going to be completely boring. Everyone I know is pretty much not around. I don't stay in Greifswald very often, which is one reason I haven't really built many close friendships, but when I am here, it seems like no one is here. But, like I said, so far, it has been great.

Friday is the first day of the weekend, since I don't work on Fridays. It started with me sleeping in, then I met up with Carsta, we talked about what we were going to be doing with the 11th grade class, and then just basic chatting. Afterwards, I came back to my place and watched the entire season of Beauty and the Geek from last Fall. Yes, the entire thing, and it was awesome! That show is too incredible for words. After doing that, I went out to a student club and met up with an acquaintance, who had a final exam that day. We hadn't seen each other in about a month in a half, so I was pretty excited to see him. But he decided to get pretty drunk before arriving. But he somewhat introduced me to his other friends, and I danced/chatted the rest of the night with them, which I was more than fine with.

And yesterday I got a call from Carsta inviting me to a little birthday celebration for her husband. It was just going to be a small thing at their house with a few friends. Since I didn't have anything else going on, and it is always really nice to visit with them, I gladly accepted. Therefore, most of the day was spent at their place, I took a much needed nap since I stayed up quite late the night before, and dinner was good fun. I didn't talk as much as I normally do, but it was good to sit and watch and listen.

And now I am sitting here, planning on cleaning up my room. Today I got a very nice email from the captain of an Ultimate frisbee team I played with last summer. The beach tournament in Chicago was officially announced!

Things I am looking forward to:
Next weekend is another Mother Tongue tournament, love it!
In two weekends, I am heading back to Berlin, which is always great fun. Then, the Wednesday after that I fly to Italy! Yes, the tournament I have been looking forward to for about two years will be happening.
As week after that, Katy and her friend, Rachel, are coming to visit, and then we are all going to Berlin because there is a Fulbright conference. And that means we get to hang out with all the great people we met at the beginning of the year.

Yeah, things are looking good, plus, I booked my flight home, but that is incredibly bittersweet. Part of me wants to stay here, but the other part is looking forward to all the things that are to come next year and thereafter.
