Hamburgers

Today KK and I went to Hamburg. I didn't go to bed until late last night *3 AM* but I was up bright and early, I had even changed my alarm to go off later because we didn't leave Bielefeld until 10.30, but I only woke up 15 minutes after my normal alarm would go off. Good internal clock, but as a result, I overloaded on sugar today to keep myself awake and I will have a major crash and sleep most of tomorrow. As we planned our trip and asked the advice of O, he said to take lots of pictures, but not all of myself, because he thinks that's pointless. KK and I talked it over and we decided that pictures of buildings don't really matter after you have actually taken the picture and attempted to be in almost every single picture of a historical or noteworthy, and I think we did well. It's maybe a little childish, but sometimes I like to rebel in the most innocent of ways, and I think it's a pretty funny bunch of pictures, to be honest! We met up with my friend CP who I've known since I was a "wea" seventeen year old as KK would say. We hadn't seen each other in a few years, and we were needing to "ketchup". She ended up being a wonderful tour guide of Hamburg, but she wasn't sure what to show us. Currently, the chapter we're working on in our intensive language course is about Hamburg. CP literally carried the book around, looking at the pictures for reference and then taking us to the places. It was pretty funny, but also practical! KK and I aren't big on wandering, but we love the actual trip, so when CP had to be off on her merry way, we only took a stroll down the red-light district to see where our place of employment will be once this whole "college degree" thing doesn't pan out the way it's supposed to. We were also hoping to see some hookers, and we may have, but we're not sure, so we hopped on the u-bahn and headed back home. It was a nice train ride, although it took quite a bit of time. We're not those people that feel as if we need to talk the entire time, so that was handy. We both read books, I am already past page 100 in my book that is auf Deutsch. I'm impressed with myself because I've only read small novels that are considered "literature" for school, and even those I didn't really understand until discussion. This one I am free to laugh out loud as much as I want, as the jokes and situations are coming across pretty clearly. It's been a very long day, so I'm off to sleep, hopefully being so sleep depraved will help me get a full night of sleep finally!
