jaeger bombbbbb

so this last weekend was interesting. my friend Gerrit visited. I have only met him a few times in Washington, but he is a German citizen and just moved back here. so he came on Friday by train, he lives 5 hours away, oi. he is also a lot hotter then i remembered. we chilled, he talked to my host mother in perfect german of course, we went out to dinner to my fave restaurant, then we tried to meet up w/ all of our friends at the biergarten in the tiergarten (which totally rhymes) but as usual, it didn't work out, we couldn't find eachother, and half of our group doesn't have cell phones. so we ended up running into two of my friends and we went around prenzlauer berg to bars. i feel a little bad though b/c that day we were on the Ubahn forever, going back and forth, and he had just ridden a train for 5 hours. then on saturday we were up bright and early went all around berlin, we went to: Potsdamer platz, the sony center, the holocaust memorial, Brandenburg gate/praiser platz, the Reichstag, unter den linden, toured the Dom which was really neat, went to the humbolt museum of natural history which was also cool, i learned lots of random animal names like a Dronte is a dodo bird, then went to the Charlottenburg Castle, but it was too expensive and not as impressive as i had hopped, so we left. went to the Ku'damm and saw the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedaenchtnis Kirche, but the inside was closed, so we just saw the outside and the inside of the new church. then we wandered for awhile, got dinner finally after not eating lunch all day, and then went to a bar, got drunk, played pool, which we both were horrible at, haha. and then went home. there were many many moments while in restaurants or on the ubahn when we had nothing to talk about, b/c we barely know each other and we are spending 48 hours together, but at the bar when we were drunk, we had plenty to talk about, haha. he is a really really cool guy. then, OMG. we were home at maybe 3am and after i fell asleep, i was woken up by the LOUDEST sex i have EVER heard. i couldn't tell if it was coming from the room next door where my host Frau sleeps or if it was coming from a different room in the apartment complex and echoing thru the courtyard and thru my open window. but no joke, i am a deep sleeper, and it woke me up and i could not sleep, haha. so this morning we woke up at like 1230 and went and got breakfast, but it sucked b/c everywhere we went was packed and the place we ended up at, was filled with wasps! i know they can't help it, cause we are outside and Gerrit had the Suessesfruestueck which came with nutella, jam, honey, etc. the wasps were so f-ing annoying though. then i took him to the Sbahn station and said goodbye. i hope he had a good time, despite the frequent bits of silence, and a few of our sites didn't work out and we did wander the city a LOT. hahaha. but yeah, then i meant to take a little nap when i got back at 3pm, but didn't wake up till 9pm and now i'm blogging and chatting w/ friends. hopefully i'll be able to fall asleep again later.

also, i cried a little today because i don't want to leave germany. seriously, if it wasn't for money and my friends, i would not go back. i want to move here after i get my RN accreditation i think. and i want to save up money all year and come here again to travel. i could visit Gerrit in Nuernburg and i'm sure some of my other german major friends will be here too. i could do it as a graduation present, if i graduate.

oi vey.
all though part of me is excited to go back, but only to see my friends/family.
mixed emotions!!!
