I drank way too much last night. Waking up with a hangover in a strange city is not fun. I desperately wanted some hashbrowns and eggs, but had no idea where to get something like that at 2:00 in the afternoon. That led to a total homesick meltdown - all I wanted was to curl up on a friend's couch and watch stupid movies all day, and instead here I am with no friends, no couch, no TV, no hangover food, and a language I speak only well enough to say "please" and "thank you" in. I felt totally overwhelmed by the foreigness of it all, and I just wanted to see a familiar face again. I finally got myself together enough to book my reservation for the train to Munich, and I feel better, but I'm still feeling lonely and exhausted. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm tired of hanging out with different people every night. I just want to see someone I know well... I miss you all. Please leave me comments, it makes me happy to see them.

Hey sweetie! It's not just hangovers in other countries, it's pretty much hangovers away from a small radius from your house that suck. I was (severely) hung over just this past Saturday at a department retreat trying to listen to faculty talks at 9 in the morning.
We miss you too, but every time I get discouraged I think of you romping through Europe and take heart that that may be me someday (soon).
You always have a couch here in Boston, and Max's collection of good and bad movies is exponentially growing, so buck it up, you'll be back in the boring US of A listening to Republican pedophilia scandals and wishing you were in Europe soon enough.
We love you!!~~Jesse (and Max)
Hey, Kristal,
If you want (NEED) familiar faces you can always come to Rome - there are 3 you would recognize...
Look forward to seeing you soon. I'm sure you are already feeling better.
Ciao,
Janine
