Some lessons you only have to learn once...

Right now I'm back at my old haunt, Dunkin' Donuts.

"Why, Ashley?" you might ask. "You have a lovely apartment complete with Aztec furniture and Internet access."

Well, I came home today to see that my power had been turned off. Apparently, I forgot to enter my customer number when I transfered the money to pay the bill in January. When I got a second letter, I assumed the money had not transferred yet. (Note to self- it's time to sign up for volkschule German.)

Now, I've just finished repaying the bill. I'll get someone at school to help with the details in 9 days so I can get my money back.

That's right! 9 days! Tomorrow I'm climbing aboard a train to go skiing in Innsbrucke with some friends in celebration of Winter Break. I need it. Today at school was TelePizza Day, an assembly, my class finished and published our informational book about Egypt, and I threw a Valentine's Day party for them. (I almost feel sorry for their parents- they were SO wound up! Blame the gummis, people.)

Sorry about the resolution. Have you kept yours?
