Ich liebe Deutschland. I don't even know if that's right. My German is improving though. Check it out: Ich heisse Casey. Wie heisst du? Ich alt 19 Jahre (or something like that). Ich mag Johnny Weir.

Oh! Speaking of which...we just learned mogen (with the umlaut or however it's spelled over the "o"), so we were doing the "ich mag" thing. I said "Ich mag Johnny Weir," and at first my professor thought I was takling about Johnny Depp. She asked who Johnny is, and I said "He's only the three time men's US national champ" all uppity like, like "how dare you not worship him." She said "Oh yes, he is the one who falls a lot." I said "no, that's Buttle." And she replied "Johnny Weir...oh yes, he had the injury at Worlds this season." I love her now.

I like hearing about other holidays. I still think that you can't beat Thanksgiving though, and I LOVE asking my friend in England what his Thanksgiving plans are. He usually responds with "take the so-called 'New World' back."
