Come on, touch me, I dare you...

Alright, so I know I haven't kept up on this like I said I would.. I know. But I have a really good excuse for not writing about Easter Break: I had hives. And a cold. So I, Jenna, who you care about and would never want horrible, embarassing things to happen to, was that gross girl walking around all hivey and scratching herself inappropriately in public while snotting all over the place. mmmmm... very appetizing. Traumatic to say the least. And sure that was only about 4 days of the 10 since I've been back, but whatever... it's been rough. Quick wrap up of what's been going on before I jump into Easter Break shennanigans and fun:
What I am reading right now that isn't linguistics: "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami, and New Yorkers all over the place--from this great Ami I met who will be in Japan for the next two and a half months, and gave me a huge backlog of New Yorkers, a pile of books to read, and two new English tutoring jobs. Woohoo!
Number of times I've fallen going up or down the glass enshrined spiral staircase I need to use daily to get to and from my room on the third floor, or "tower A", in Schubertheim? Officially 13; unofficially, too embarassing to count.
How much my blood pressure rises using, or at the thought of using, those stairs? A good 12 points.. or whatever it's called...
Proud new home of an ant colony: The showers on my floor. Very fun.
Rating on a scale of 1-10 of how beautiful Graz is this weekend? Umm... what's that number? oh yeah. 10
Do you want to see? Here are some livecam shots of Graz RIGHT NOW!!!!:

Amount of Spaetzle and Nutella I've eaten, thank god not together, in the past week? Ugh.. don't remind me.
Number of days until Brent comes to visit? FIVE!
What we will be doing while he's here? Good question. But I do have four different pamphlets from the Graz tourism office.
Best gift ever from new Ami friend? Milka Hot Chocolate mix. That's where they melt a bar of Milka and add a couple of spoonfuls of milk. mmmmmmmmm
