So I'm back from Germany. Europa Park was pretty fun. I've been describing it to my family as a good medium between Disney World and Six Flags. Six Flags being for adults and thrill seekers, Disney World for the kids (and also extremely annoying after four hours.) Europa Park has their theme-scheme down pat; They did a great job with the details of every section of their park. They also did a great job with making sure there was things for everybody. Kids had their play places and stupid rides like "Pirates in Batavia", and the grown-ups had thrill rides like EuroMir and the Silver Star. It was a good time, but I'm glad I'm back. There is only so much you can take of something.
Well anyway, I'm in the process of personalizing my apartment. Finally. A month after I move in and I finally do something to make it feel like home. I went to Ikea in Aubonne yesterday. It was a really beautiful drive... being able to look to your side and see the "Swiss Riviera" made an hour and a half fly by. I got a new bedspread and it's totally cute, dude. I also got a few new cups, some new towels, placemats, a new scrubby thing for doing dishes, new pillows (oh my god, awesome) and a dirty clothes hamper. Totally makes a difference, I'm not even kidding. There was a really awesome print that I wanted of tree branches from the perspective of if you were looking up at the sky in a forest. It would go perfectly on this wall but, of course, it was like 95 CHF. No dice. I still have a lot of things to buy for my apartment to make it how I want it... I actually just made a list. It's kind of long but I seriously am in need of this shit. I'm going to have to go to Ikea again on a Saturday that I have off. I'm going to have to stop in Geneva and go to this bookstore that sells English books on the same day. I only have one short story left of my FINAL book that I have in English, it's rather upsetting. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm done.
Speaking of needing things... I am slowly withering away. I am in desperate need of a ukulele.
