I’ve got a paper to write for my history class: “Imperial Russia and her policies in Central Asia” – while at the same time it’s so hot outside I sit around half naked all day and break a sweat just by existing.

So this morning I answered the door in my underwear, ready to make some lengthy excuses about my appearance. It was the mailman, who kind of just shrugged and handed me a package.

The package was from the United States, and guess what was inside:

My award!

Thanks Tim and EVERYONE at Boulder, Colorado!!

…

So after some partying in my room I decided to go back to the kitchen, back to my paper, and back to my cup of ice-cream.

Then the doorbell rang again. I went back and opened the door, and it was the same mailman. We did our routine with the excuses and the shrugs, and he handed me another package:

The TLW video made it on a DVD!!

…they even put a picture of my weird beard on the back cover:

Thank you Daniela and everyone at Moving Adventures!!

More partying!

…

Well, eventually I went back to the kitchen, wrote some more words for my paper, and finished my cup of ice-cream (macadamia flavored).

Then I went to class, took a refreshing swim in the Isar river, and had a pizza after that.

What an awesome day!!
