e! ras! mus!

i went to an erasmus party last night with some couchsurfers. it truly lived up to its name: the music was a mixture of indian bolywood style, afro beats, latin american samba, german hiphop, justin timberlake and some cheesy 90s songs like mr. boombastic and... eye of the tiger. welcome to gottingen's night life! hehehe! 

but the company was great, perfect couchsurfing fun. :-) i really believe all the nice people in the world could be found in CS. it should be an organized religion. christian danced with me. dominic offered me a bike. bart told me some interesting things about erasmus (in a hushed voice "totally not about studying") and his misadventures with french people, rhea told me that everything will be okay. and i met anja, this really terrific girl. we became friends instantly because she accidentally said "GOSSIP GIRL" instead of "GOSSIPY". i love it! haha 

anja, dominic and i walked home together. all the stars were out tonight and anja pointed out casseopeia to me and dominic. i didn't see it, there were just too many stars. and i am never good at constellations (constipations, steve). 

anja walked with me the rest of the way home at 3am, eventhough it was a long way from town and it was a horror-movie night. hehehe! it was eerily dark and quiet. the houses in gottingen looked a lot like the house in the exorcist and dominic with his long coat, getting the bike from his garden and walking slowly towards us strangely looked like the priest in the exorcist poster, and for a second there i was truly scared. hahaha! we ate prinzen cookies while walking and talked about distance, medicine, more gossip girl, chuck bass, doctor house and going through difficulties (you will!) and how everything will turn out just fine. S and B!

i remember what jon said about the kindness of strangers. meeting her made me feel that yes, maybe this place could be home.

one step at a time.
