Finally Internet...Thank you McDonalds!

So I decided to start a blog because I am so lazy. So what has been going on? Many things. In the German way I will make an outline.

1. Dorm Room

1.1 When I got there it was disgustingly dirty. I had to go to Mueller and buy cleaning supplies and something to get rid of the smell.

1.2 No Internet!!!

1.3 The dorms are pretty old, and are being torn down. That is why they put internationals there. My neighbors are from China, Japan, Romania, and Turkey, just to name a few.


2. March Course

2.1 Group 5- Thanks to Rosetta Stone I made it into group five for the language class. There are eight groups, eight being the most advanced. Unfortunately I have no idea what the teacher is saying half the time.

2.2 They organize many trips and activities for us. We had a City Rally where we had to run around the town and find things. Our group came in last. Last night we did a pub crawl. And today we had a tour of the Alt Stadt.

2.3 There are students from all around the world in the German classes. We all speak English to each other instead of German.


3. Konstanz

3.1 It is a beautiful town right on the Bodensee. On a clear day (which we haven't had) you can see the alps.

3.2 It wasn't bombed because it pretended to be part of Switzerland, so there are buildings that date to the thirteenth century,

3.3 The weather is very wet and cold.


4. The University

4.1 It is in one huge bu idling, which is really 20 buildings stuck together on seven levels. It is crazy confusing.

4.2 It looks like a kindergarten because it is so colorful.

4.3 The Mensa (cafeteria) gives you about 3 pounds of food for 2,50 euros.


5. Strange stuff

5.1 Mustaches/beards. I have never seen more impressive ones in my life. The handlebar mustache is nothing compared to these.

5.2 Music at the bars ranges from the White Stripes and Franz Ferdinand to Chicago to stuff from the 60s.

Well that is all I can think of right now. I miss everyone!
