These things are not words, they are alphabetical processions. And they are not rare; one can open a German newspaper at any time and see them marching majestically across the page — and if he has any imagination he can see...

Need my M83, Fleet Foxes, Sigur Ros, etc right now. His iPod makes for a great workout playlist though. 200 sit ups done. Cardio after this.  Got my loan disbursements. Still need to purchase Spring 2012 parking permit.  Been waking up early every day this week thus far. Wake up -> German podcast / news / music in the background while getting ready. Routine. I just want to brush up on verbs...

Three school-related emails already. Ew.  I need to look for my Italian textbook + workbook from a year ago. Otherwise I’d have to buy new ones.  I only need to purchase ONE TEXTBOOK this semester.  Bikram Yoga in February. Wish me luck.  Sister flies back to NY on Wednesday.  Where did time go? School starts on Monday!  Back to Long Beach everyday.  Excited to see familiar faces...
