Meinen deutschen Kurs

We started our three week intensive Sprachkurs this past monday. A quick orientation, a placement test, and our rusty heads were done for the day. Back into the swing of things, thank goodness. It's great to have some strict academics here. I've been looking foward to this course for a while and could not be happier with it. It keeps me busy from 9:30 in the morning until 8 at night. Three weeks of nothing but German studies, what a great kickoff.

I've met a group of students and roommates living directly above me and we've gotten together a few times now in the evening to cook and play cards. I'm going to teach them bridge soon, looking foward to it :)

For now it's back to tidying up, Feist, and sleeping for my early morning.

There are many tiny streams that run throughout the city center in Freiburg (not as pictured here). They were once used by the fireman, but no longer. I've learned, as anyone does within a week of living in or visiting Freiburg, that if I accidently trip and step in one of these tiny rivers, I must marry a local.

oye oye.
