Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and my God, it will be celebrated in Cottbus. This is quite exciting, since I was unable to participate in the most glorious holiday ever conceived last year due to a lack of an oven. In spite of past set backs, the Americans here have combined into a lean mean cooking force set out with one mission: To gorge ourselves. It will be hosted at Sebastian's house (he is a German in my program), and will include the Americans as well as other select guests. I'll update later how it went.

Surprisingly, I have another weekend seminar this weekend, but this time it is about Management of historic sites....I think. Anyway, it is supposed to be good, so I hope that I do not have to show up drunk just to make it interesting. Saturday night, I will go to Berlin for the first time to celebrate the birthday of a German girl in my program, Sarah. There is not much else going on here, just the usually running around, working, and trying to keep things as lighthearted as possible.....
