First and foremost, Happy Cinco de Mayo! =)

Lately I've been feeling a little under the weather which is pretty ironic since the actual weather has improved drastically. I didn't think I'd ever see the day that Goettingen would reach the 70's. I had a talk with my mom this morning and I feel a lot better. I'm looking forward to going home. I just have to get through these classes which won't be so bad because I'm only taking one real class in German.

Here is a comprehensive list of the things I plan on doing within the first two weeks of my arrival to California:

1. Eat a carne asada burrito and drink horchata
2. Eat pho
3. Eat pad thai
4. Eat thai fried rice
5. Eat In-N-Out
6. Eat dim sum
7. Eat borscht from Amy's restaurant
8. Eat as much of my mom's cooking as humanly possible
9. Go to a baseball game
10. Go to the batting cages
11. Play Time Crisis
12. Go bowling with my bowling ball that was specially drilled by one Gerold Nunes
13. Drive up to Twin Peaks
14. Walk along Haight St.
15. Walk around downtown
16. Walk along Mission St. and not get jumped. haha
    
17. Play raquetball
18. Have a welcome back/birthday party thrown by yours truly since my mom is too lazy to plan
    
19. Ride my neglected bike of almost three years
20. Hang out with friends and family

*Note that the first eight begin with the word "eat".
