The Superbowl

I actually got to watch the Superbowl this year without having to stay up until 2 am. Of course, the only reason I had any real interest in it was because the Steelers were playing, but hey, the commercials were worth it. Or some of them. Anyways.... it was very interesting to see how the people here react to the Superbowl.  It's as big as soccer over in Europe and just as competitive. Though hugely different. But still, somewhat entertaining.

Anyways, despite the title of this post, what I really want to talk about are the Lipizzaners Stallions, which I was lucky enough to see at a college near where I live. Horseback riding is one of my many passions, and I was so thrilled to see them that I had to hold back tears of just pure joy at seeing these beautiful white stallions. Originally trained for battle, today the Stallions are the picture of perfect dressage and amazing horsemanship, and they were truly wonderful to watch. I HIGHLY recommend going to see them, even if you are not an avid horse lover as I am.

Yesterday I did have ramen for dinner. It was quite good, and microwaved ramen is just as good as stovetop ramen if you cook it long enough. That being said, I have nothing else of even remote interest. My thoughts have been of home and going home, because I really dislike my college and I can't wait for the semester to end. As my dad cheerfully pointed out in an encouraging email to me:

It's only 3 1/2 months left!
