So. Dead.

I wanna go do it again. I'm sad that I'll be unable to do the 4-day intensive in May, but not sad that I'm gonna be in Berlin instead. (There's a 4-day intensive in CT in August, though, which is tempting.)

I need to collapse a bit. I'm somewhere between totally wired (from being around people for 2 solid days, and also these people being taiji people, which is just amazingly awesome) and exhausted. My brain could keep going, but my body's like, girl, stfu. So I'll probably spend the evening crocheting (or triaging the 300+ posts in my RSS aggregator. Gah.)

Also looking for a roommate or two for the USKSF tournament in July in Baltimore. Asked Dr Jay if anyone from the school was going, and he didn't know. I'd like to go to spectate, not compete, just to see what goes on and watch some martial arts.

I have thoughts to think about my learning style and how it affects my kung fu, but I'll save those for when I can brain properly.

Ich freue mich auf'm Urlaub.

Things I can't wait to have in Vienna:
-Sachertorte
-Demelbombe
-Wiener Kaffee
-Palatschinken

Who's surprised that my first thoughts are of food? I'm gonna gain like 20 lbs, I swear.

Things I can't wait to see in Vienna:
-Mozarthaus
-Mozartdenkmal (im Friedhof; ich vergesse wie es richtig heisst)
-all the Jugendstil architecture
-HABSBURGS

I think I should save up so I can spend 2-4 weeks in a German-speaking country every summer. Not necessarily with the language class aspect, just to do it. I should time 2014 to coincide with the Fussball WM, though that's the one year it'll be in approximately US/Eastern time. (It's in Brazil.)

OK, time to get my crochet on. I can do that tipsy. (Sad, not even one beer. But considering my physical and mental state from the intensive, I'm not terribly surprised.)

I hope I'm not scaring the new boy away with my crazy. I've been kinda braindumping in email. And I'm terrible at communication, but that's a very important part of this whole thing. *iz ded*
