white trash beautiful

yesterday was a rather good day.

my exam was... fine... i am sure i got at least 50% right. which is good! but we'll see today what the results say.

i was a little annoyed during the test: one of the chinese girls in my class kept sneaking a look at her electronic dictionary. i understand that her score has nothing to do with mine, but i was just thinking, "why bother? what's the point?" this test isn't really going to make us FAIL the class; although, technically, she probably should take the class over again - just for her own benefit. things like this don't make sense to me.

anyway, i got home from class and jp, the piano player, came over to practice. i went to get some wine and when i got back he was leaving. its kind of nice having someone else around - but only at my discretion and not for long periods of time. :) after that, i was going to warm up some leftover thai food, but jen called and had a bad day at work so we decided to go to this restaurant called white trash. as indicated by its name, it is some sort of american/irish/english pub-type restaurant. i heard someone outside call it an irish pub, but the menu is mexican-heavy, so i think its american. our waitress was english, she might not have even spoke german. they have a really great menu for their food, but also for its wit.

Direct from their menu (i know because i stole it):
"White Trash Drink Recommendation: ... at white trash fast food we recommend drinking cause its good for you, and it makes people like you, but most important, it makes it easier for you to like other people."

also:
"DAMN! FRESH FISH.
selected daily by Martin our Kitchen Chef. For good functioning sex glands and Real-Life RESULTS!
Dorade or Forelle (Rainbow Trout) 11.50 euro
fresh, not frozen, seasoned, sauteed, butter roasted, a dead fish could not be happier or more delicious. Yes, this fish is so fresh he knows you're hungry, but please show no mercy."

i had the nachos and a margarita. they were possibly some of the best nachos i have ever had. yes, i have not had cheese since i've been in germany and nachos are really one of my favorite foods, but also they had VEGGIE chili! it was so good. the margarita was a bit bitter, but it's a margartia - you cant REALLY complain.

it was great to see jen - it was only my 5th time or so since i've been here (which has almost been 2 months). she gave me the idea to look at 'cheap' grad school programs here so that i can come back and stay longer and learn some more german. i spent a bit of time looking at that when i got home last night. we'll see.

to end out the night, i had some wine, relaxed and watched chuck. zaz!
