Fitz
One of my two last names starts with "Fitz" (Irish half of the family).
Why does my little brother let all his friends call him Fitz? Does it really sound cool?

one week...
and I'll be done with my semester!! I just finished a take home exam, have 2 more to go on friday and saturday morning and then I'm done until mid october! woo-hoo!!
By the way, What is the deal with exams on a saturday morning at 9 am???? I really don't get it, I mean would it kill them to put it from 12 to 3pm instead? oh well. I guess I'll just have to get my lazy ass out of bed earlier...
I feel like I've been PMSing for three weeks now... wonder what's up with that!
In August we're travelling to East Europe. Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova... we'll see what we actually have time to do, but still, it'll be awesome to see a part of Europe that is a little stuck back in time and used to be under communism. Unfortunately, things in these countries are evolving fast, catching on to capitalism and I think you have to hurry up if you want to get a glimpse at all at what it was like.
I'm SO due for a vacation...

In Mourning
My team just lost and I will now go in mourning. This is not good. Germany is such a better team than Italy. Oh well, now I am for France, so they can kick some Italian butt.
Allez les bleus (John, that's all you need to learn in french for the game tomorrow)

World Cup Frenzy
On Friday night it was the opening game: 5 girls. one tv set. many liters of beer.
needless to say, I had FUN! It was a lot of fun to watch, and I've been watching since friday, since there are 3 games perday (one at 3pm, 6pm, 9pm). In Berlin, it's just crazy. There is not many bars or restaurants not showing the game... People everywhere drinking beer and watching the game. The whole public transport system is now working through the night, and at any time of the day you will hear people chanting, screaming, partying all over the city. People of all nations are here i the city now, and of all cities, let's just say that berliners aren't exactly known for their friendliness... oh well.
Sunday I went kayaking. This week we learned how to get straight up again when we accidentally flip over. (Those boats are mean things!!) It's a bit scary the first time you're head under water, because the lower part of your body is literally stuck in boat, but once you get the hang of it it's fun.
After a couple of hours I was really tired, and I thought I couldn't make it back to our starting point. Ironically, the last half hour I really pushed myself, over my personal boundaries, and I arrived 2nd out of 8. I was completely exhausted, but it feels good to know that your body has established a new limit of physical capacities.
Monday I woke up SICK. It was 30 degrees and beautiful outside. great. The bf was also sick, so we spent the day on the sofa underneath the covers taking care of each other.
I am for Germany for the World Cup, by the way, since Canada as usual is not playing. I've fallen in love with the number 2 Goal keeper, Olli Kahn (he's the Bundeskahn!) He is an ANIMAL! and I hope he'll be playing tomorrow night.
Ah, to be a soccer ball...

Freak
Okay, I admit it, I am a total freak. Why, you ask? well, I always think I've done something wrong. I'll always replay my whole day in my head before falling asleep, trying to see if I made a mistake at work, if I said something stupid at the uni... When I get a message on my answering machine, I often analyse the tone of voice, trying to see if the person seemed pissed off at me and trying to hide it or not. Before I call the person back, I run our latest conversation in my head to try and see if I could have said something wrong or offensive...
Yes, I'm that bad...

*
The bf's parents where in Berlin over the week. They came over for dinner last night, and it was a big deal for me, because I really want them to like me. I cleaned the appartment spotless and made for dinner grilled salmon in a white wine cream saffron sauce with schallots and lime, rice, and a fresh salad to go with it. I think they liked it. Well, I'm happy it's over cause I was a nervous wreck the last three days.
Today I am starting a Kayak class, every sunday from 3pm tp 7pm. I'm excited about it, but right now the weather is not so good (13 degrees C and rain). But whatever, I'm canadian, I can take it.

The Bunny Tee
One slight technical problem: people can't read the bottom line because my boobs are too big. Oh well.
Tuesday, May 16, 2006
HELLO?????
My Bunny Tee is here! Yay! I'll have to model it for you guys and post it here.
On friday I will be hosting a little evening here, and I CAN'T WAIT!
I love playing hostess. in my new BUNNY TEE.
other than that, I'm tired as hell,been sleeping waaay too much, have been running to the doctor, giving a blood sample, will have the results on friday. Cross your fingers, cause I might have mononucleosis! My left knee is completely fucked up, I have a hard time walking around and am going to the orthopedist next week for that.
Is it just me or do I sound like I'm 93 years old?

Everything happens for a reason...
Well, I'm happy my flight booking didn't work! I just learned from the university that classes are starting on the 8th of january, not onthe 2nd, which means I'll be able to stay in Montreal one week longer over Christmas!
I'm in a really weird phase here now, because I'm really happy with my friends and all, and at the same time, I'm feeling really homesick, and miss my friends from home horribly.
Okay, so here's the plan: I will win the lottery, become insanely rich, buy an island somewhere and build a mansion on it, and ask all of my friends and their friends and family to move in with me in my mansion. Then we'll spend the whole day playing in the ocean, swimming with dolphins, getting a tan and drinking mojitos.
Who's with me on this one??
