a little off topic

ive had a few fun days so far. its a little weird, settling in, finding free time, not really knowing what to do with yourself, with who, where to go in this big city you havent explored fully. its a lot like those first weeks at college, where you just sit around on your computer a lot. not that i sit around on my computer a lot, just that, free time seems so...free.

i had a really enjoyable night yesterday though. a lot of the restaurants near the school know that we are in the neighborhood and have specials for us. last night melissa, jayna and I each got a salad, starter, main dish and dessert for 10 euros per person. incredible. it seems sometimes that everything is either very overpriced, or ridiculously cheap, there is no middle ground it seems. we also got a craft and a half of wine (dad is it craft? but the t is silent?) for 7 euros. great deal!

we had to get up really early this morning for our final trip to the hospital to get our tb tests checked. it was a long adventure way too early. im now sitting in my bed enjoying the afternoon breeze. its been quite chilly here lately. i find it very strange. im glad i brought my white sweater, and bought a cool pair of ultrasoft greek looking sweatpants. they are pretty sweet man. and its okay that i cant pull them off, because i wear them in bed ha.

I am still pretty into the office. im getting reobsessed. its funny how you watch something so much, and get so into it. and then you just forget about it. but then you watch a few and its like oh omg i forgot how emotionally attached i am to this. television is so interesting. i just cried during a pam/jim scene. i think i can honestly say, hands down, it is the most amazing and honest relationship on television. the courtship at least. i hate movies and shows where its so unclear really why they love each other. you just know they do. through dialog ect. but the acting and the writing doesnt really show it. the emotions arent conveyed. like on greys, when derek was all pissed off, didnt wanna see meredith ect, i dont care honestly. yeah she is a cool character and i like her, but i cant see sometimes how in love they are. its kinda like real life, when you know two people in a relationship, and you just know they love each other because thats the way it is, but you dont see that, the intimate side i guess. or maybe they just keep it so private and hidden, how they adore each other. but in the first 3 seasons, its so on the surface, and you see it so well. and you kinda get that some people notice and some people dont, but the camera, the writing and the show, can so subtlety saw a glimpse of the key reactions and emotions that are the completely essential essence of courtship. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
