I didn't really mean to be. I had volleyball (pickup) at the SportCentrum at 19Uhr. Franz had invited me earlier to see the ceremony because his elder son is part of the Domspatzen, one of the oldest choirs in Germany, and they were singing. But the show started at 6 and they said it would only take half an hour, leaving me another half hour to run back to the Uni, grab my stuff, and make it to vball.I have to say that I was really impressed with that choir. I'm don't think I normally appreciate choral music (is that the right word?) but there were so many layers of harmony that it was very smooth. Well worth it. And as for the Market? I had heard it was over commercialized and not really worth it. I think it was fun, but I get a kick out of seeing these traditional things. And I like the Christmas season.
Tomorrow I get the keys to my new apartment. I'm so excited to be moving out of suburbia and into the real world. Some things about my current place that I like: I didn't have to set up internet, it's very quiet at night, and the bakeries nearby are good. Some things I didn't like: the walk to the university. The walk to town (goodbye, 4.5km hike while I'm drunk!). The 4EUR charge for laundry. The nearby supermarket -- with the shittiest hours possible and a selection that would rival a Canadian convenience store. The fact that it's in a half-basement (don't you hate making promises to yourself -- like, I'll never live in a basement apartment again -- and then having to reneg?). Okay, rant is over. Will post pics of the new apt soonish. Although I already have one sweet idea for something to hang on my wall -- it's a whiteboard on one side and a poster of some art on the other. This is something that should be sold somewhere.
