Okay, you know what? I'm actually going to do something I didn't want to do, and this is not an admission of defeat, but I'm giving up on the book progress on German and starting over again. Mostly because I have by now TOTALLY lost track of where I am. And I could use the review. And so could Ali (sorry Ali!) because our routine there has gotten totally screwed, too.

Wie heißt du?

While at the art department to sign up for an excursion to Florence with her history class, Gisela runs into Alex, who is in the same class but whom she has never really met. After chatting briefly, Gisela and Alex decide to meet before the trip. Then Gisela goes into the office to sign up for the trip to Florence.

Vorm schwarzen Brett
ALEX: Hallo! Ich heiße Alex. Und du?
GISELA: Grüß dich. Ich heiße Gisela.
ALEX: Willst du auch nach Florenz?
GISELA: Da.
ALEX: Toll! Du, hier ist meine Telefonnummer: 35 67 81. (Drei, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, eins.)
GISELA: Danke. Und meine Telefonnummer ist 79 23 09. (Sieben, neu, zwei, drei, null, neun.)
ALEX: Wie bitte?

ALEX: Okay. Also dann, bis bald!

Mostly this is stuff you and I have gone over before, Ali, so. Have some in context? I can translate line by line, too, if you want.

Oogh. I've been going on a tangent for at least the last hour or so over weaponized hair sticks. No, I don't know why. I blame Aisha, at the very least. Maybe Nameless too. Half the people in my head would be all over weaponized hair sticks and me putting them in my hair. This is at least also partly due to the fact that I've now figured out how to do a bun and a half bun in my hair (half bun looks less silly with my bangs) and I'm working on practicing a couple of other hairstyles that require sticks as well. Short version, I'm picking up a few hairsticks and some mini hair clips, and if anyone can tell me where to find some pretty mini hair clips that isn't dressytresses I'd be much obliged. I'm talking to my blacksmith friend about the other.

I'm definitely exercising my Beauty virtue. And my Brilliance by finding out what works for me rather than trying to copy a pre-existing image. I think this is actually the first time I've worked this hard at Beauty without trying to copy someone else's image, and I can't believe it's taken me this long, but damned if it isn't worth it. With age comes wisdom? Or something.

At any rate. Cleaning the living room happens now, and then makeup practice and then washing off the makeup and a little reading before bed. Editing has also happened today! I feel accomplished.
