I love being home!
My place is GREAT, and it's all clean and ready for tonight's party. I've felt so much love in the last few days, and I am reminded how blessed I am with the people that are in my life. I had an epic movie-esque hug with my friend Topher, I've been to the park with Tiana, there's been a game night, and a day of running into friends on campus.
Jessie and her crew are rolling into town around 2:30, Nattles and Anjali around 5ish (?), Tim and his crew sometime around then, Alexander around 9, Jacob shortly thereafter! I can't stop smiling. :)

On being back.
I landed in PDX not only on time, but a merciful 20 minutes early! I sat next to the perfect people all the way home. Either they were dead to the world or they were pleasant and polite. I took codine and slept through most of my 11 hour flight, and the best part? When I wasn't sleeping, I was eating- and vice versa. Hahaha, that's my type of flight right there!
In texas, I ordered some mexican food and Cat and I watched Glee until our plane was ready to board.
By some act of God, Mom and I found her car and I made it with all of my bags without collapsing, haha. We checked into our awesome hotel room and then headed to the Roxy for really, really delicious burgers. I passed out around 10 while watching the Grammy's. (Did anyone else watch them? Talk about awesome performances, damn!)
The next morning, Mama and I headed South. I got a cell phone and two pairs of pants in Woodburn, and a haircut in Eugene. But. The best thing I got that day was my nephew! What a gorgeous specimen. He is so happy and mellow, even I'm not scared to hold him, and that says something! =]
Roseburg was a baby-filled blur. It was definitely the best first few days back in the US I could have had. Last night I drove back up to Eugene in terrible weather. Most of the time, my visibility was about 10 meters. :\ I set up my laptop, put on some tunes, and spent the next two hours moving in. All of my stuff is put away and I got my bed set up. I'm home! I still need to go grocery shopping, but other than that, I'm good to go.
Last night a few friends came over. I had the most epic hug with my boyfrann, Topher. We sprinted towards each other and then I jumped into his arms like in the movies, hahaha. Terrifying, but epic.
Laughable mistake I made yesterday? I forgot my electric blanket (although I do have the cords for it lol) and my comforter. Yeahhh, my sorry butt froze last night.
TIME TO GO HUNT AND GATHER. I HUNGER.

Wow, it's here.
It is Saturday morning at 10 am and I just woke up from my last night in this bedroom.
These last three weeks have flown by, and the best part is, I didn't even try. I never really felt that panic of "oh no! I don't want to go home!" or "oh no! i need more time!" but on the other hand, I also wasn't crawling out of my skin and freaking out that there was STILL 10 days left.
My room's all naked now, and just as I had suspected, it took about half an hour to pack, lol. I'm taking a night train tonight from 11pm-4am. From there, I'll hang out at the airport by myself until 8:10 am, meet up with Cat and her sister, check in and try to sit together on the plane, and then I'm hoping I can pass out somewhere until 10:00.
Today, we're FINALLY exploring a distant hill that I've had my eye on for months. Yesterday, I figured out how to get there after a 3 hour hike, and today, we're going! At the top of this lovely hill, I found out via googlemaps that there is a jesuit castle/monestary thing. Maybe we'll hike to the top, maybe we'll just enjoy the beauty of a small town surrounded by grassy fields. Can't wait! After that, we're meeting up with the test-takers, buying a few drinks, and laying out by our lake one last time. (It's sunny here, suckahs!) I'm hoping someone will feed me dinner, and tonight we'll probably play cards and chill like we usually do, lol. I hate saying goodbye, so I genuinely hope no one takes me to the train station.
I am really happy to be coming home. Freiburg might not have been everything I had hoped or wanted, but I think it was everything I needed. I really had to challenge myself to survive, and I had to take control of my own happiness, which is a difficult task we all have, but most don't choose to do it. I'm hoping that I can see these changes when I go back, and use them to help e do better in school, with friends, and find a job. We'll see!
Mama's picking me up at the airport, despite poor decisions on my behalf, so for that I am so, so grateful. I was hoping to dress up for the flight, since I hate how sloppy most people are these days, but the truth is, I'll be wearing the same clothing from 40 minutes from now, until 42 hours from now. Soooo... no. I'ma took homeless, haha. From there, we'll check into a hotel in downtown Portland, and walk to The Roxy, which is a deliciously greasy diner owned by a drag queen. The next day it's a slow journey south filled with shopping, a haircut and tattoo appointment, and setting up my apartment. Most importantly, I'm excited to spend a few days in Roseburg and SEEING MY GORGEOUS NEPHEW. Thursday is the Elton John concert, and from there it's time to start job hunting.
So much life! I'm a happy girl. Wish me luck on my crazy next 48 hours :-S

Boooooo!
Not only did I have to fork over 200 euro for worthless insurance, but I also didn't get my 240 security deposit back because I came too late on a Friday afternoon. I am literally coming home with no money. Raaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh

Fast fertig!
(Almost done!)
I've spent the last 3 hours running around town and jumping through hoops so I can go home. I broke up with the Uni Freiburg, the state of Baden-Württemberg, my gym, and my insurance company. However, the insurance company took it pretty hard and decided to beat me up. (AKA- they charged me for three months of insurance, even though I won't be here-- 200 euros!!) I literally almost cried because that was the rest of my savings (in my German account). So what did I do to cope? Buy an ice cream cone, of course. lol =]
Now I'm off to break up with my internet company, and hopefully they won't have the same idea as stupid AOK.
Tomorrow I'm doing nothing but shopping and hiking. ughhhhh

Beth Moyer does not say goodbye!
...willingly.
I did, however, say goodbye to my US History classmates and tutor today, and I was surprisingly sad afterwards. I also closed my Deutsche Bank account and bought my last set of groceries. Once again, events are being posted around town that will now be taking place after I leave. Tis a strange feeling. It is also still sunny here! I'm going to go take a walk out by my lake and then come back and make something with a pound of ground beef, lol.
Tomorrow: get my Schein for the immigration class, exmatriculate with the Uni, and sign out with the state. I think I'm getting a free dinner from my Brit, too, haha =]
Thurs: Pick up Schein for (faux)history, break up with my insurance company and with my gym.
Friday: Check out with my Hausmeister, pick up security deposit, change euros --> dollars, party hearty for the last time.
Saturday: Spend with friends outside, if the weather permits. Head to Frankfurt around midnight or so.

100th post?
Crazy!
Nothing monumental to say except that I'm nearly out of my hermiting obligations- my final final (US History) is tonight at 6pm. At 8pm I will be a free woman and an unbelievable weight will be off my shoulders! Freiburg has chosen to celebrate my last week by giving us 14 degree weather! (high 50s F)
I think tomorrow I will figure out how to get that slip of paper that says I'm leaving the state/country and start cracking on my chore list (exmatriculate with the school, sign out with my gym, sign out with my insurance, close my bank account etc etc).
Other than gorging on bakery goods and basking in the sun, I'm not sure how to say goodbye to Freiburg, but then again, maybe it's just that simple.
Oh! And I started packing today. The bag Ma&Pa sent me is so big, it fits all of my stuff (clothing, posters, nicknacks, pillow, shoes EVERYTHING) as well as my backpacking backpack from August. Crazy, eh?
It's 3pm. Gotta:
Eat.
Bank.
Gym.
Study outside before my
Final at 6:00.
Movie by myself tonight?

What a bum day!
At least part of it was-- I failed my Germany and the EU class because I am not a good bullshitter when it comes to governments and politics. He failed me because I missed 3x (once for Ma&Pa, once for Pneumonia/Bronchitis, and once because I'm a punk... aka two of them shouldn't have mattered). Also because I "finished my test too soon"- either I know something or I don't, how long it takes me to finish shouldn't matter! And, because I didn't write enough. Again, I could write about Woolfe or Hemingway all day, but how do I elaborate on the fact that the President of the European Parliament is Jerzy Buzek? Ughhh. It was more than slightly mortifying to find this out. I wrote Anja because Silvia is "away from her computer" and I'm desperately hoping for something to happen.
However, Tiffany is in town for a few days, we made oreo milkshakes to cheer me up, and I've just been studying my buns off for my history final. That is why I haven't written; my life has consisted of nothing but eating and studying the last few days. I will be SO HAPPY when this is all overrrrr.

What? I didn't quite hear you-
My stupid tinnitus is really, really loud today for some reason. Like, nonstop iPod bad. Thank goodness it didn't start until after my class today. Not quite sure what to do.
I'm going to the library now to return all my books and to spend some (ironically) quiet time in the library studying for my Monday/final test. After Monday I'm freeeee! But. Until then. Must. Study. :|
I'll probably hit the gym after that (Must combat fatty habits, hahaha) and tonight, I'm making my remaining leftover meatloaf into a meatloaf toasty. I shall bake a brötchen roll, melt some gouda, heat up my meatloaf and add some spices and voila! I have a delicious but simple dinner. Heck, maybe I'll even make some soup to go with it since it won't break 30 today.
Man, I live quite the exciting life, don't I? ;-)

Monday= Funday
It is another abysmal 30 degree day outside, but I decided to conquer it nonetheless! I got $$ out of the bank (thank god for monthly money haha!) and headed to the gym for an hour and a half. And, I'm sorry to say, I don't think I'll ever stop being emotionally scarred by women's' locker rooms. 
I was visually assaulted by like, 4 naked women within 15 seconds of walking out of my shower. ooof :\
I then went SHOPPING like any decent 21 year old with money to burn. AND, to make Aunt Mary and Mama proud, I got four tops for less than 30 euro! They're mens button-up collared shirts, but they're XS so they're still form fitting. The benefit of men's tops? They're made sturdier. Fact.
On the way home I got a mini-döner (gotta eat 'em while I can!) and now I think I'll edit my paper and perhaps finish season 1 of How I Met Your Mother. =]

Pics/Dinner
Pics are up! Click on this Link to see them!
Cold but lovely walk, and now I'm curled up by my heater for two reasons: 1) it is 30 degrees and 2) it is thawing my ground beef, and I want to keep an eye on it. Bahahaha I love being a college student; we get to do silly things =)
Meatloaf and "The Reader" shortly and then I'm meeting my girls at the train station around 9:00.

12 degrees
That is how far off the weather people here were on today's high. It is 27 degrees at 2pm, and I'm FINALLY leaving my house after lounging and scrubbing the kitchen. I think I'll go up to Schlossberg

DONEDONEDONE
As of 7pm precisely, I am done with a 15 page research paper! To celebrate, I talked to Mama on Skype and made some home made chicken strips which were unbelievably good. And you know what made them taste that much sweeter? Two weeks of freedom, baby.
It is 4:30pm
AND I AM SICK OF WRITING THIS PAPER!
Please don't misunderstand- I love my topic, and I find it to be very interesting and worth writing. But after 4 days of 6-8 hours of writing each day, a girl's gonna get cabin fever.
I'm on my last section now, and then I'll pray to the Conclusion Gods that they'll bless me with a coherent conclusion. I think I'll actually finish this before I go to bed tonight, and then tomorrow I'm going to Titisee, or up to Schlossberg (hiking hotspot just above Freiburg) or something.

Bizarre moment of the day
I was in the middle of doing a day's worth of dishes, I can't stress this enough- in. the. middle. I had headphones in, I had my pile of dishes, I was standing in the middle of the sink, doing my thing, and the weirdo german who's like, 7 feet tall and never talks to me walks in, hovers over me for a sec, says nothing, and then takes my sink. Generally I don't move, but he's ginormous, and I"m not fluent enough to be an a-hole in another language.
Back to dishes, I guess?

Well then
That test was much different than I had expected. Things he didn't mention since October were all over that test. I blame nothing but my lack of experience with these types of classes. I did the best I could, and after speaking with other Americans, I feel I did just as well as any of them so hmph! It's a shame that unlike every single one of our other classmates, we did not grow up with EU stuff taught in our schools or shown on our news, but c'est la vie!
I also returned all of those bottles I've been hanging on to and had just enough money to buy a few chicken breasts, some bread, eggs, lunchmeat, speghetti sauce mix, and broccoli. I shall make it to February yet! haha
Now I gotta get back to my research paper. My friends have all left for Berlin, so I have no distractions for this lovely weekend, and I couldn't be happier! =]
Home in 16, leaving Freiburg in 15.
Here's my gorgeous city as of 4 minutes ago:

Here's my gorgeous city as of 4 minutes ago:
So here's what I know:
I've made a weird little study guide to help me with my EU final in an hour. Here's what I know:
In 1951- a Big Friggin Giant Invaded Little Netherlands (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg & Netherlands formed EU)
In 1973- everyone was getting DUIs (Denmark, UK, Ireland joined)
In 1981- Greece came along (81G, AIG)
In 1986- Spain/Portugal (no helper thing for this one)
In 1995- I would have said Eeeeeek! A Furry Spider! (Austria, Finland, Sweden joined)
In 2004- CCR EST HUGARY for Lil' LATkas and MALted milkballs.PS: pSyche! (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Maltha, Poland, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia joined)
2007- Romania and Bulgaria finally got on the bandwagon.
EU Treaties: RoMAN-L
Treaty of Rome- Esatblished EWG and EAG
Treaty of Maastricht- "EU" as we know it, is born
Treaty of Amsterdam- vague things were done
Treaty of Nizza- reform and prep for eastern expansion
Treaty of Lissabon- defines modern EU, but not a constitution. Gives a common set of rules
Pres of ERat- Rumpoy (Neth)
Pres of Parliament- Polish guy... Jerzy Buzak
Head of Ministerrat-Hungary
Pres of Kommision- Portugal... Jose Barroso
Founders of EU: Joe Montana, Regina Spektor, Portland Hates Squares, and AnDy Griffith
AKA Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, Paul Henri Spaak, Alcidi de Gasperi
BRING IT ON! I'm so ready to ace this test and get back to my paper. Which will be difficult, as it is gorgeous outside. Arctic, but gorgeous.

Doin' WORK!
That is my first 50 notecards for my research paper. I estimate that by the time I'm ready to write, I'll be looking at somewhere between 250-300 notecards. Woo! I worked on my paper for approx. 7 hours today; I love it. FINALLY, something to work on!
I've decided to push up my "due date" (self-induced) to next tuesday, as opposed to the Friday after it, just so I can have it completely out of my hair.
Nothing else to report, really! It's freezing over here, and there's no end in sight. All that's left to do is burrow and study.
OREGON IN 19 DAYS!

I want you!
Guten Tag, liebe Familie-
Ok, I'm cooking on a shoestring this week (you know how it is at the end of the month), so I need all your best cheap recipes.
I stocked up at the store and have 1 lbs of ground beef, two chicken breasts, noodles galore, rice, eggs, all the baking stuff (flour, salt, baking powder etc) so lay 'em on me!
I'm meeting my friends down at starbucks in an hour and we're going to study for a couple of hours. It's frustrating not to have a study space where I live; the kitchen is always full of people, our rooms are off limits (too easily distracted/cabin fever) so we have to make a 20 minute commute in order to find a spot with tables and free wi-fi.
I think I'm also studying with a history classmate tonight, so that'll be great (he's German!).
Things to do:
Shower, eat lunch
Study/Read for no less than 2 hours
Mail $$ to Mama
Go to the gym
Study s'more
