Hallo,
John came out to visit Berlin, me, and his friend Becky. (Except Becky FLAKED! If you 're reading this, Becky, we both wish you were here. Berlin's not THAT far from Stockholm ...) He's here in town until just after New Years , and it' s been really nice to hang out with someone I know. It' s really stressful, having to make all new friends . I'm always worried th at new people will stop hanging out with me once they realize that I constantly repeat my stories, am late all the time because I get lost , and that I'm generally kind of a spaz. I hav e my strong points too, of course, but...
The German seems to be kicking in now. I'm starting to dream in German occasionally. I did it when I was learning Japanese, as well. The funny thing is, I can never remember what I said when I wake up. My subconscious is fluent, but my conscious hasn't quite caught up yet .
I finally got in to the photo lab again. My former houemate Vanessa has a shared studio where she does painting, and one of her studio- mates has just finished setting up a darkroom. He has kindly agreed to let me use it for basically free, as long as I bring my own supplies. So, las t night I developed the first roll in years. It al l worked out just fine, although I had to guess a bit on the developing time. The only problem is that I forgot how much of a tail I had left at the end of the roll and I cut off the last five pictures as I was removing it from the cartridge. That sucked.
OK, sorry to cut this short but I have to get off the computer. More soon, I promise.
Oh, and there i s the grea test travel agency ever near my school - TITANIC TRAVEL. I 'm serious.

Blogger just ate my comment. Argh! Technology. Anyway, what I was going to say is: Believe me, you guys don't wish I were there HALF as much as I do! You're probably having fun, instead of being trapped in an apartment with your bickering parents, cleaning and packing and trying to keep them from murdering each other. Not that that isn't fun. But I wish I could've made it to Berlin. (It actually *is* pretty far -- 14 hours by train, approx, and I'm too broke to fly. Too broke to eat, at the moment.) Have some fun for me!!!
cheers
becky
