​To clean or not to clean

Rejoice, my many readers! Or, if we’re being honest about my readership, rejoice, my parents’ Facebook friends! I finally cleaned my room!

​Thoughts on flying

For starters, who sets Lufthansa’s inflight menu? There’s probably an entire culinary staff that decides which terrible German cheese to give people for lunch. They don’t need to hand out five-star meals, but serving “cucumber and quark sandwiches” is borderline disrespectful.
