Christmas Time on Campus

Hey, 

This years Christmas was definitely a whole new experience. It was unusual and after all not really Christmas-y, but it showed me to value the last Christmases and the future Christmases with my family. 

First of all, for those who don't know: In Germany we celebrate Christmas over 3 days! The Christmas Eve on 24th, 1st Christmas Day on 25th and 2nd Christmas Day on 26th of December. Every Christmas days has its own traditions in my family, like Eating goose on the 1st Christmas Day and going out for Dinner on the 2nd Christmas Day. Related to my stay here in the U.S. I wasn't capable of celebrating a usual Christmas, but I tried to make the best as possible. 

On Christmas Eves Day I skyped with my family for about 4 hours. I skyped with them while they unwrapped their gifts and while they had dinner. I nearly felt as If I was there.

Afterwards a friend of mine and me wanted to order Pizza for dinner, but unfortunately the Pizza shop wasn't open so that we had to eat in the Cafeteria. Yeah! :/

In the Cafeteria we met some other friends and we decided to go to the cinema with them. We decided to watch "into the woods" because of its really good cast, e.g. Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep.

The movie itself was good as well, even if I was really surprised, because it was kind of an musical. They were singing the whole movie and I still have its catchy song in my head. 

On 25th I just watched some series and slept in. And in the early afternoon I went to the grocery store to buy some vegetables and pasta for dinner. 

When I thought about my family eating goose right now, I felt pity for myself eating pasta, but hey! Pasta was still better than eating in the cafeteria. 

I can't really remember what I did on 26th of December, but I think that it wasn't 

Christmas-y.

In the night time I went out to the "the Raven" club in Meatpacking, which was a advisable  club! I really liked the music and the atmosphere there. I went to the club with some other students and met up there with a friend from Miami, who currently was in New York. We partied all night so that I came home pretty early in the morning around 9am maybe. 

After all it was a good night anyway. 

So, finally to say my Christmas time wasn't like Christmas at all, it was more like trying to pretend that it's Christmas, then actually believing it.
