Zigeuner

This is my new favorite word in German. Zigeuner - gypsy. It just sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Taking a break from my essay on racism in the literature of the Third Reich. Fun stuff to talk about on a summer's day, let me tell you. It's already rained twice today and I think it's going to rain more. I always found it funny that, around 3pm every day in New Orleans, somewhere it rains. Can't explain that, but it's inevitable. It's overcast here, humid as all hell, and I miss my AC so much it's ridiculous.

Going to read some more Harry Potter. I was in Burlington last night and I resisted the urge to break free of the language pledge and dash into Borders to purchase the new Harry Potter book. I told Stacey earlier that if one can register for household appliances, one should be able to register for Harry Potter books. And if anyone wants to take me up on this idea, I'm angling for the British hardback edition for adults (no, not THAT kind of adult book!).

Only one more Monday left in German camp. I can't believe it's almost over.
