Having only one paper to write, I decided to head north this week. It has been a nice week, full of respite, peace and quiet. Amidst this peace was the necessity of actually writing my last paper of the semester. I relaxed all day and worked all night. I have barely used my cell phone all week and have rarely been on the internet. It's been nice, no joke.
I haven't missed the hectic pace this week. I head back tomorrow, back to a full social schedule--birthdays, weddings, hanging out... and back to trip planning, hostel booking, last minute shopping. Germany is closing in like a black hole; one week to go.
Musically, I've listened to some favorites of the year so far:
Iron and Wine: The Trapeze Swinger
The Shins: New Slang
Modest Mouse: The World At Large
The Kings of Convenience: I Don't Know What I Can Save You From
And some new favorites:
Death Cab for Cutie: A Lack of Color
Radiohead: Fake Plastic Trees
