Tag 10

We woke up and went to Mittagspizza, which is mid-day pizza at Pizzeria Napoli. We met Ashley's friends Kat, Anthony, and Tracy. I managed to devour an entire pizza. We went back to Ashley's room but she needed to work on her paper, and leave around 3pm for a meeting for her class. 

Ashley workin' on stuff

During that time, I sat around reading various books. At a certain point I decided to go outside and got some pastries. 

Nom nom nom

On the way back I veered off onto some nature path that is right next to Ashley's dorm.

Ein Weg (a path)

Looking up on the path

Ashley came back with some drinks and said that Kat & Anthony wanted to jam. We were originally going to go over to Anthony's dorm but Daniel, his friend, had the keys to the room and he was at work... so Anthony came over to Ashley's dorm where there is a jam room with 2 out-of-tune pianos, an electric piano, and a drum set that lacks a hi-hat and ride (but it has a double-bass pedal and one tom). I went outside at one point and a waiter at a bar next to the jam room said we needed a metronome. Then someone knocked on the door and got angry that we had taken a plastic chair from the bar's outside sitting area. We jammed in there for a while until Anthony left to go see Swedish music in town. Kat eventually left too and so just Ashley and I were left to jam for a while longer.

We came back eventually while Ashley read for a while for her class. This is a big mirror-thing that we found on the side of the road (someone was throwing it out) while walking back from Indiana Jones that we took...

Eventually, around 845pm, we went into the common room to watch the Deutschland vs. Türkei. I devoured two pieces of Brötchen (small bread) with some homemade hummus and some left-over Gouda from my cheese-buying escapades earlier in the week. At one point in the game, the picture went out and everyone was yelling. We switched on the radio to listen and Martín, a guy who is always lounging around in the TV room, said "Wilkommen an dem Neunzehnhundert Zwanzigsten" (welcome to the 1920's). Eventually the picture came back but it went in and out during the game, along with the sound being weird. The people in the commons room blamed it on the fact that the game was taking place in die Schweiz (Switzerland). It was 2-1 with Deutschland winning when Turkey scored a goal in the last 5 minutes, tying it up at 2-2. Then with literally 30 seconds left in the game, Deutschland scored another goal giving them the win with a 3-2 score. I could hear the honking all the way from downtown for at least 2 hours after...

After that we watched a hilarious Daily Show and passed out.
