Rollin', rollin', rollin'...

Things are finally starting to gear back up here in Trier. Every day, I notice more students and become more familiar with faces I see around. Mao is coming back to Trier today to pick up her suitcase, which she left in my room as she travels the country, and I hope to spend some time with her before she has to pick up and leave again for her final destinations in Germany before heading back to Japan. Then, this evening, Amanda and I hop a train to Luxembourg City, where we will see The Faint in concert at an old auto warehouse that is apparently only about 200 meters from the main train station. With any luck, they will time everything just for us, so that we can see the whole show and still catch our last train back to Trier for the night. ;)

Miguel, a friend of mine from Mexico who is studying at another school in Trier for at least the next semester, informed me a few days ago that a whole gob of Mexicans is coming very shortly to Trier to study (25 or so!). He just introduced me to the first to arrive, Daniel, and it looks like my level of activity may very quickly rise... which will greatly benefit my sanity. Tomorrow, we are heading to a club in Trier, Forum, which is a pretty typical hip-hop type club. Friday, we have no plans, but I'm certain something will pop up. Saturday, we may make a day trip to Köln or Bonn and afterward hit up the club Produktion in Trier with Yu and Florian. Then, Monday is a Spanish national celebration, so the Mexicans are throwing a bash... with real, delicious Mexican food!! :D

Things are definitely looking up, my friends. Here starts the insane whirl of activity that will be my next year in Trier, I fear.

(How do you like that rhyming? Pretty snazzy, eh?)

That rhyming was actually helpful! If Trier rhymes with fear, then I can remember how to pronounce it! :)

Ooooo, all that clubbing sounds like FUN! Can I come? *puppy dog eyes* My ass requires a little dancing off...;)

Haha... I highly doubt that, but OF COURSE YOU CAN COME!

When you do (not if, mind you), we should make a detour to Düsseldorf, and the longest bar in the world. There is a great "hard rock" club there: http://www.stone-club.de/party.html. They also have a cute, trashy, inexpensive little tequila bar. :D

My vacation's from Valentine's Day through the beginning of April. (hint, hint.)
