Lazy No Good College Student Style

School's out and the weather's beautiful! And we are celebrating the summer in lazy no good college student style, which means whole lots of doing nothing, but at least doing it together.

Yesterday was a pretty sweet day. We remembered that when we registered with the city we got a book of coupons and gift certificates, which we've barely used. So we used one to get a free buffet lunch on the Rhine (which was yummy!), and then decided to go all out and see how many coupons we could use in one day. We went down to the supermarket and got a gift basket of free stuff, and then went to a really expensive hotel on the waterfront to drink our free glass of...orange juice.

Then Marina's family came! Her parents are awesome, and her little sister is back to visit again, which meant PARTY. We chilled out inside for a little bit, and then decided to take our party outside. Over the weekend, a playground magically appeared behind Europahaus, the dominant feature of which is a pirate ship. So we drank and hung out on the pirate ship, and it was quite a good time.

Today I headed down to the university beach with a friend, but somehow we wound up accidentally on the nude beach, freaked out, but finally found the normal beach. Woot. But even the normal beach had way too many people in speedos.

Then Fabio and I headed back to the pirate ship for a picnic, and I made friends with a 5 year old German kid who wanted to climb up onto the ship but wasn't tall enough. So I helped him out a little bit. But give little German kids an inch, and suddenly you find yourself their personal picker-upper, because Little German Kid wanted to get on and off the pirate ship like 8 times. But I didn't mind, he was adorable, and totally didn't care that I have an accent.

At around 10.30 Canadian Friend and I met up with Sungmi and a friend of her's at a local club which was throwing a big semester end party. Danced for a few hours, then on the way back, got caught illegally crossing the street by the Polizei. Thank goodness they were too busy following an ambulance to do anything more than yell at us with their cop-issued megaphones. There's also a whorehouse in Konstanz (for those who may be interested), it's called Little Paris, and the German girl I was with just filled me in on what actually goes down there today.

Sun will be coming up soon, and I am off to bed! Adios amigos!

hahaha, orange juice huh? sounds yummy.

the whole little kid thing sounds adorable!!! it's actually really funny, because when i was in ocean city we went to wildwood to go to the rides on the peirs, and there was this one ride where you had to pedal all around a track (which was up in the air, it was a swan) and there was another ride that you didn't have to pedal, you just sat in it and went right around a track that was close to the swan, and it was a pirate ship. and as this other girl and i are pedaling a swan, a pirate ship passes by with this little kid who waves and say "hiiii!" really cute. but even cuter was the older boy he was with...=P

you WOULD end up on a nude beach...

and you WOULD get caught for jaywalking too. and i have another funny story about jaywalking in ocean city, but i don't really feel like talking about that some more

niceee, dad's going to freak about that comment about the whorehouse, but then again he freaks out about EVERYTHING you write =P

oh my goodness i just realized how soon you're going to be coming home, i need to move all my stuff out of your room! (kidding =P)

see you soon (=O!)
