I actually enjoyed IR today. It worried me. She got really mad at us and was like "have any of you even been to Europe?" and like, 3 of us raised our hands (its a class of 50) and the first kid's like "Scandinavia" and since we were talking about the EU, I was like "I went to Brussels but I couldn't go in because they wouldn't let us" then she thought I was stupid because I didn't tell her the date the EU was formed. Eh, screw it, it was really early. But anyway, we were talking about the countries that were just added into the EU (w00t!) and the teacher, who's Turkish, was like "Turkey is up to be a candidate for the Union" and I was like "yay!" because I think this is the coolest thing ever, because its like an enigma, and I can't figure it out--should they be allowed in? or not? Its awesome. Awesomely intense, so I got all excited. Then some stupid kid raised his hand and said, "how can Turkey be up for membership? Its in Asia!" and the teacher got all upset and then there was like this intense discussion where the teacher felt really bad and it was so awesome. I was freaking out for the excitement. And some kid was like "What about Cyprus?" and ohhhh man, it was so exciting. I was freaking out. It was the first time I was excited about the IR class, and I'm really glad because, ya know, its my major. Wow, I want to go be in the EU. Oh man, and there was a guy in the movie we watched who worked at the European University in Bruges (its my lifelong dream to go there, but its for European students only, which crushes my life) and I was hyper. Ohhhh I love Belgium so much.

I have to say, I hate the president. Did you know he removed the US diplomat from Syria? Hi, I'm diplomacy, maybe you missed me? I remember in Model UN being Syria and partying with Iran and protecting Iraq and being on the Security Council. It was a party.

Naomi's coming to visit me! Mark's coming next week, and we're partying that weekend, then I'm going to see Liz next month. Then she's coming to visit. And then the week after, Erik's coming to visit me, and I'm just really popular and my roommate's going to hate me. (more then she already does= party)

ps. I'm going to Dusseldorf in 165 days!
