This week flew past me... But I'm not complaining because that means I'm only getting closer to winter vacation! Woooooo skiing in Switzerland! It's gonna be weird not being with family but I'm happy to be spending it with people like Michele, Cindy and Jen.

On Monday I had to sort out my phone bill so I called the company and no agent could speak English. I finally gave in and attempted to speak in German. At the end of our conversation, instead of getting some of the charges docked off like I had planned, I had agreed to move my bill due date to Thursday. Or so I had thought... The next day my phone was cut off. I called the company again and spoke to someone who knew English. Apparently, I agreed to split my payment into two and until I paid the second installment, my phone would be cut off. I don't remember having that conversation with the woman but I did. My German is so bad that I can't even dispute a bill.

Anyway, I had to go to the actual store to dispute my bill where I accomplished knocking off a little more than 10 euros. Making big eyes and saying, "ICH VERSTEHE DAS NICHT. GAR NICHTS. ÜBERHAUPT NICHTS. (I DON'T GET IT. NOTHING AT ALL. NADA.)" very loudly is probably what did the job.

I told Kristian about my phone bill fiasco and offered to accompany me to the store. I told him I had it under control and he says, "Well, I still owe you five euros. When do you want it back?" What happened to saying, "Hey, let's hang out."? What's with tapdancing around what you wanna say? So we went to the Weihnachtsmarkt and had REALLY REALLY gross Glühwein with Bicardi and Cherries. Why would someone invent such a drink?

Thursday night I went to the Weihnachtsmarkt again to hang out with Herr Dröscher and Herr Beilein. Later we went to a bar, had a merry time blah blah blah. My bike is still out of commission so I've been walking everywhere. Vivian decided that we would both ride her bike home. After 50 minutes of falling and starting and stopping a good ten times, we made it home. I definitely have the battle wounds to prove that we did it. Bruises galore. It would've been faster if we had just walked but like she said, "Then we wouldn't have any stories to tell."

Here are some pictures from the past two weeks. Enjoy, bitches.
