apparently, i'm a socialist.

mr. november. originally a term used for derek jeter, then a song by one of my favorite bands, then a t-shirt sold in support of barack obama, now a reality!

i'm attempting to watch obama's election speech (since it happened at even more the middle of the night here than it did at home) from grant park.

plans to go to düsseldorf sort of fell through. late last night my roommate decided she wanted to come, but when we both woke up we didn't feel very well (i have another migraine). then when i went to my professor's house to watch election coverage at about 8:30, she left to go to stuttgart alone.... so, i'm just hanging out today. i'm going to try to find this cafe in plochingen that was designed by this crazy surrealist architect. we always pass it on the train on the way to stuttgart, and i want to see it up close.

coming up this afternoon will be part II of two week adventure, including highlights from rome, florence, and venice! get excited.
