Though a week has gone by since my last posting, things have been pretty quite around here and there is little to say. I have started working out again in full swing, since I have a really expensive gym membership and I intend to look like He-Man soon. I still have a little bit more to go, and when I mean a little I mean I will probably never get there.

The weather is freaking cold, and it's dark by 5 p.m. everyday, but luckily the sun has been out nearly this whole time, with cloudless skies, so it makes things a bit more bareable.

This past weekend I had nothing to do for the first time in Cottbus since, actually, I really cannot remember how long it has been. Too long. Anyway, I took advantage of such nothiness to do nothing. Literally, I slept in, finished the book 1776, and just caught up on forming pointless thoughts in my mind. I had a bit of the sniffles because of the cold weather, but have felt in general quite healthy.

On Friday, I did the most exciting thing of the week, namely a dancing ball. Daniela is in a dance class here and they hosted a formal ball in the town. The first couple of hours I just sat around and drank beer, while nearly everyone there danced things they had learned in class. Then they had two seperate information sessions on the merangue and salsa dancing, which was really fun.

Right, so I hope to have some other things to comment on soon!
