living in the library

Bibliothek der Uni Heidelberg: Aufklärung per Zufall

Yes, folks, this is in fact the library at my university. (have I mentioned that the University was founded in 1386?!) Fun facts include the following: 1) the section of the library that contains books that can be checked out is arranged according to the year that the university purchased the book...I miss the good ol' Dewey Decimal System. 2) you are not allowed to bring bags anywhere (basically). no bags, no food, no fun. the exception to this rule is a cool room in the cellar where pretty much everything but talking is allowed. 3)I spend a large majority of my time in this building. I print articles, I read, I update my blog. The good news is that I am farily productive whithin these walls. That concludes our "non tourist information on the library" section of this post. I hope you enjoyed it. Any questions?

In other news, we have skipped fall here. It was warm, then it was freezing. Every winter I remember what a sissy I am...I really just prefer warm weather, in spite of being from Colorado. Go figure. As you are probably realizing, there's not a whole lot going on here. I am reading a lot, trying to learn Spanish, and spending my free time either sleeping or hanging out with friends. I miss and love you all. I never cease to be unspeakably greatful for all of the support and I love I continually receive in spite of picking up and leaving the country! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ~love~
