First off, I would like to thank two lovely individuals for visiting me this evening. It was great to see you, Hope and Phil! Phil even attempted the map challenge from my previous post while he was here. He did… pretty well. Certainly better than I would have done yesterday before I started studying, but not better than I did today at history class! 
Although I am not the first one to think this, or write about it, Flickr is extremely fun. I honestly did not see the appeal when I first visited it… I would see people linking to their flickr photostreams, and not really get why that was cool. It’s when you upload your first pictures and immediately get four visits to each of them that you realize just how awesome the site is… and then when people comment on and favorite your pictures, and you can explore other people’s photos and sets, and the notes on photos, and tags, and, and and… hyperventilates Basically it’s really fun. I don’t think I know very many people already on flickr; if I happen to know you and you do have an account, let me know! It’d be nice to have more contacts. 
Oh, just to update you on the unfortunate bag-theft situation, Elijah and I decided to post signs on the stop signs around my neighborhood reporting the bag as lost, and offering a reward for it. We’re hoping that one of two things will happen: Either, the kid who nabbed it in the first place will bring it back for the reward, or some stranger will find it tossed somewhere and return it. Honestly, both situations are highly unlikely, but we just needed to do something. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
That’s all for now… Talk to you later. Ich muss jetzt meine Deutsche Hausaufgaben machen.
