I spent most of yesterday evening watching the Euro2008, although that isn’t singificantly different from what I’ve been doing the entire week. The first game, Germany-Croatia, was fairly boring. Germany played terribly & deserved to lose. The Austria-Poland game, on the other hand, was excellent. Poland scored an unearned goal in the first half on a missed offsides call, and Austria finally tied the game in the 92nd minute on a penalty kick. I’m glad Austria was able to tie Poland, because it leaves the bracket open & gives the Austria-Germany game on Monday even more meaning. In all reality, though, Austria outplayed Poland and should have won the game.
After lunch today I have to go pay my rent, which is probably the worst part of the month. Fortunately, I only have to pay this month & one more, and I’ll have a lot more financial freedom once my housing expenses are finally out of the way. I lucked out, too, because I pay 290 Euros a month including utilities, which for Munich is a fantastic deal.
Otherwise, things in Munich are quiet. The weather is terrible again, and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to keep our plans to travel to Nuremberg tomorrow. If not, I’ll probably end up reading or trying to find a good museum. I just finished Agatha Christie’s Mysterious Affair at Styles, and I’m starting in on Crime & Punishment. It’s not exactly the lightest reading to be doing on the subway, but it should be interesting.
