Day 3 and I am feeling Insane in the Membrane!!!

I was hoping that this feeling would go away, but it hasn't. This place is still as bitchin and surreal as the first day I saw it. Right now since I dont start work till Thursday my one and only task given to me is to stay up as late as possible each night, and the best way to get to sleep and stay asleep is to drink yourself into a coma. So literally during the day I fill out paperwork and bum around. Then between the hours of about 11:00 and 4:00 I am pretty much brain dead. For example.... I was in a shop asking about a cell phone.. The clerk asked me if I needed help I guess.. I would have sworn up and down this man was speaking German. I told him I don't speak German to which he replied "I am America speak English and you must be in processing for the resort." So anyways back to my last two days. After my insane period I then suddenly feel like a Million Euros and could run thru a wall if I wanted. On Monday we went to cheap pizza night at Peaches. Where everyone buys the "newbies"drinks and tries to keep them awake. At about 2:00am and wayyyyyy to many liters this was accomplished. Last night was cheap burgers night at the ski lodge where I was instructed to just keep drinking!!! Once again I drank myself into a stupor and slept, except this time I woke up at 3:00am completely alert and wide awake. So now it is about 1:30pm here and to stay awake till my bewitching drunk hour I am going to take a ski lesson.
Life is good here. Everyone is here for the same purpose. To have fun and travel a lot. Which is why I came. So I am pretty much as happy as a clam with some strawberry jam. Miss you mean it!!

2 Zannies and Bloodmary Later

I have arrived!!! The adventure here was mad.. I took half a sleeping pill and downed two glasses of red vino and fell asleep in Chicago before the plane took off... Didn't wake up till the plane landed. I missed everything. No dinner, No movie. I was basically taken advantage of by United Airlines, but in a good way. So I got to the airport and was very confused. Since I had not experienced a flight at all I still felt like I was in the states, until I realized I could not read shit! Really.... There was nothing in English. But anywho... The drive from Munchen to Garmish is about 1 hour.. It was a really beautiful sunny day so I was able to see all the cool architecture and sights. The lodge we stay in is pretty sweet. My roommate is a very chill laided back girl from Alaska. Right off the back she invited me to go to Egypt with her and like 6 other people in May.. Of course I accepted because I do have about 10 dollars in Egyptian money that someone gave me. :-) But overall people travel alot!!! My roommate has been here for 6 months and gone France and a few other places.. This other cat is going to Italy for a week, and I met someone who says I have to go to Czech Republic. So I guess I will be going to CR baby.. Today's agenda is staying AWAKE!!! So my roommate and some other fools from the Abrams (that is what our dorm is called) took me and the other newbies around town. My first meal in Germany was...Indian FOOD!! Really good Indian food!! Then we went to a BOMB ASS cheap beer shop.. I will be there a lot. After me and my roommate Trisha went to a consignment store called Protzent Makte where I got into a minor altercation with a saucy store owner. It was great, he loved me by the end and is giving me a deal on a couch tomorrow.

So that was my first day here. It is pretty surreal but I can already tell I am going to love this place. It is gorgeous here. Ski passes are 18.00.... Trips to Munchen are like 5 euro.. And everyone here is applying for extended stay.... NO ONE WANTS TO LEAVE!!!! Its like never never land with lots of BEER...
