It was a pretty good weekend. I went and saw Blades of Glory on Friday night with David, Matt, Corydon, and Cary. It was pretty excellent--I've never seen a Will Farrell movie before (unless you count about thirty minutes of Anchorman), but I really enjoyed this. It was entirely thoughtless and entertaining, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to something lighthearted and comical. So there was that. We also had TCBY, which I recently discovered makes a good alternative to ice cream for me (which my stomach can't really handle), as frozen yogurt is 96% fat-free. Hooray for that!
Also on Friday, before all this excitement, I talked to my academic advisor about class registration and which classes I should take next semester. It sounds like I might now be contemplating either an International Political Economy (IPE) major with a business minor, which could work out really well for me. I guess I'll have to see what Baba thinks; but I don't really need to make a decision for another semester or two. There's a fair amount of overlap anyway.
On Saturday, I spent most of the day with Cary. I started out doing IPE homework, then went to lunch with Cary (I had Pho, Cary had Chow Mein--it was all very good; if you're looking for a good, cheaper Vietnamese restaurant let me know and I can pass on specifics). Then Cary and I did some Easter shopping for the Easter event happening at my mom's house on Saturday. We hit up the DollarTree and Target. And I also purchased a microwave cart (some rolling car thing with two shelves and a wood top) that I've moved all of my food and odds and ends onto, rather than having it all sit on my second desk. I had run out of room for my books and homework stuff, so this is a big improvement. I probably shouldn't be moving too much stuff in, however, as we've really only got a few more weeks of school...
On Sunday, I did some homework and watched some Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with David in the morning. Then five girls from my floor, David, and I all went out to my mom's house for Cees DeBedar. That went really well; it was quite fun, and there was quite a bit of good food. I didn't get to socialize with the family members too much, but hopefully that was okay. We're planning on going up to Seattle sometime soon, which should be fun--part of my Asian Initation or something like that...
Today was nothing exceptional. I had an absolutely terrible German quiz (hence, I'm beginning to meet with the German Tutor again as of tomorrow morning). I had my new cupcake cookbook come in the mail from Amazon today, which I am very excited about. At least 120 recipes for me to try out! What lucky friends I might end up having if they're the ones these are distributed to. I'm got a couple of papers that I've started working on too. I'm going to have two due the week of April 16, so I need to get a move on. Then there's my big IPE research paper that will be due in May. And hopefully I just survive German class at this point. It looks like I'm probably not going to be taking a language next semester. Although I'm seriously looking into community college language classes.
That's all the news for now, but I'll continue to update whoever does read this... I think Oma might be the only one at this point... But Swiss friends, if you read this, there might be mail coming your way sometime soon... As soon as I find some 84-cent stamps or break down and use three 39-cent stamps on each one...
Until the tummy aches... More soon in other words... :-) Ari

Hi Ari,
Your Oma isn't the only one that reads your blog - just so you know that I feel like I keep informed about what's going on in Washington and I usually pass info onto Joe & my mom in Florida since they can't seem to figure out their computer well enough to see your blog
