Ich fahre nach Berlin . . . :-( allein
(I'm going to Berlin . . . :-( alone)
Which isn't true, but I am definitly not going with as many people as I thought I might go with. Now it's just me and my group that was originally going. I thought maybe half the country of Germany would go, just because, let's face it, they could. But alas. That was a fairly traumatic night. So very sad. I've told many people this, but I'm going to put it in here anyway just for the benefit of the people I haven't been pestering in the past few days. It was overtime with about a minute to go in the regular time period. The first Italian goal was beautiful. I'll give them that. It really was gorgeous, and the thing is, right after they scored, I knew Germany could still do it because they then knew exactly what was on the line. You could even tell they were determined to make that last goal before the time ran out, but there wasn't a whole lot of time, so it was kind of a panicy effort, and then Italy scored another goal. time ran out. It was over. It was sooooo sad. There was a girl sitting behind me was just all out bawling, and the guys at the table next to me couldn't stop staring at the screen. They were just staring like maybe it would not be true. It really was hard to believe. There was a very large sense of "this wasn't supposed to happen" . . . . but it did. and Now I'm going to Berlin and I'll be sadly going for Italy, because I just can't bring myself to root for France no matter the circumstance . . . haha.
Some other things happpened this week, too. I went on a date. That went badly . . . mostly because I just don't think I can date anyone in the not even 2 months I have left. I've had my share of almosts and could-have-beens with 2 month relationships, and I don't like them. But anyway, let's not get too involved in Kendall's love life on this thing . . . you never know who could be reading . . . especially since I attach this URL to every email I send out to anyone. Ooh . . . that actually makes me nervous. Stalkers, please stop reading my blog! Thank you. Hopefully that'll do it.
Also, Sam and Ling had a 4th of July party on the 3rd of July so as not to conflict with World cup quarter finals. Here are the pictures.

Anyway. That's mostly what happened this week. Except that my family is in Wisconsin right now, and I really wish I could be, too. But, you know, take the bad with the good . . . or something like that. And I used this conditioner that has been sitting in my bathroom since I ran out today, and I'm wondering if I should go home and wash my hair again . . . it feels really funny . . .
That is all. I'll write when I get back from Berlin. Oh and I didn't realize I had to moderate comments, so I did that last night. and I'll keep up to date on that. And I'm going to stop telling you I'll put up pictures. Maybe I'll do them all in one sitting at the end of the summer when I have time--MIT's athena lockers aren't really cooperating at this moment. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that I'm so far away from them? who knows?
