It is summer!

- Back from the trip to the U.S. One month of awesome! (I have many questions. And a lot of video.)

- When we got back, my adopted brother from Germany, Lennart, was at the airport to meet us! Hooray! I knew he'd been visiting my parents, but I didn't know he'd still be around for me to get to see him properly.

- Harvest started today. I'm still way too jetlagged for this.

- Lidl now sells the "Fruit & Fiber" cereal that I used to eat for breakfast and lunch while in England. THIS IS A JOYOUS THING.

- Why did I not know about Misfits? It's a fantastic show. Is there fandom? Is there fic? It's fantastic. Did I mention it's fantastic? It's fantastic.

- There will be a huge shindig on the weekend. Youngest uncle's birthday will be celebrated at our house, and everyone is set on making things Memorable. Regardless of youngest uncle repeatedly, and quite loudly, asking them not to. This lead to stress and various people un-friending each other on facebook. (There was more to it, but that's where I stopped listening.)

- Home sweet home!

- Work at the little hospital starts on Monday.

Back!

Feeling all sorts of disoriented. There are so many things to catch up on online, I don't even know where to start. My room is a mess. Most of my clothes are 250 km away, along with my sneakers, leaving me with only sandals and winter boots to wear in autumn weather.

( Italy was amazing. )

A few friends from Hungary are visiting until Tuesday. They arrived while we were still away, and got to spend half their holiday by themselves in our apartment. Because, yes, I will forget I have friends coming over, and take off for Italy two days before. I also forgot to tell our third flatmate that there will be people in the apartment, so when she got back from Iceland, there were strangers in the kitchen.

Proud of myself, I am not. The level un-organized that my life has reached is a little scary. I don't even know where to start untangling it all.

Today is the Orientation party for the new exchange students. I'm blissfully un-involved with the exchange student network this semester, so I plan to mostly just pop in and look at all the new faces, and possibly feel a little old. Most likely me and the Hungarians will spend the evening playing Munchkin and drinking pálinka (rasberry and honey flavour, because evil can often appear sweet). This is not at all a bad thing.
