Last night I finally deigned visit Martha and Bonnie (andere deutsche Studentinnen) at their apartment for a birthday celebration in honour of one of their other roommates, Melissa. I watched while everyone else played a JENGA drinking game. Initially I drank only tea, but finally I allowed Martha to fix my very first margarita.
Ich hab' es gern gehabt.
However, I limited myself only to the one, though that was enough for Traci to exclaim, ere she entered casa Bonnie/Martha: 'Lauree's drinking?!' I had not realized I had garnered any notoriety as the only person (besides Dr. Bonzo, der "Mormon" ist) in the German Department who does not drink. When one says and does the sorts of things I do when sober, one hardly needs to intoxicate oneself.
I neglected "Bahnwährter Thiel" in favor of another book I found in the same aisle: The Poetry of Friedrich Nietzsche. It begins with his juvenilia, die ich am liebsten finde. Heute nachmittag lese ich weiter.
