If there's one thing Americans do better than Europeans, it's floss. And start wars. Kidding! The other night my friends were over for dinner and the topic of oral hygiene came up (I pride myself on my teeth). They told me that they barely ever floss because it takes so long (10+ minutes???). I gave them the ol' Dr. Liu line- "only floss the teeth you want to keep!" and I assured them it takes but a mere 30 seconds, but they refused to believe me. So I had to show them. And teach them my wise, American, dental caring ways. I gave them all a string of my fancy Crest floss (floss in the US is actually better than the floss you find here) and we were off. They were astonished at how fast I went, and how, remarkably, I didn't slice my gums open. Needless to say, they all floss every night now. That'll teach em to ever talk trash about good ol 'Merica again!
It's study week right now. So, naturally, my room is spotless and I am none the wiser. Tonight I decided that catching a beautiful sunset on the Rhine was much more interesting and important in my life than teaching myself about what a book is. No really, this: 'Books cover virtually any topic, fact or fiction. For research purposes, you will probably be looking for books that synthesize all the information on one topic to support a particular argument or thesis. Libraries organize and store their book collections on shelves called "stacks". More and more books are also published in electronic format.' is part of what we learned in the course I am taking an exam for tomorrow. Wtf!? Anyway, you can't blame me for wanting to spend my time here instead:
Alright, I think I've wasted a sufficient amount of time now. I guess I'll study. I have always wondered what a newspaper was... Womp womp...
