hi

Morning. It's Sunday morning right now. about 9:49 am. You guys are probably still out and about looking for trouble over there in the states. I think the last time I posted was.. I don't know, maybe beginning of this week? So we all started school on Monday. Most of the time school is fun. Really tiring though. Breakfast is served around 7am and we have to catch a bus and hop on the tram to be in class by 8:30. Then we have lessons until about 6:30. Kinda really gross. All the Chinese kids sleep through class because the teachers speak to fast for them to comprehend so they just sleep. There are about 8 kids from China and they have their professor with them, but the professor falls asleep too. We had a summer festival on campus on Wednesday and the whole China crew totally ditched it to go shopping in Mannheim. Kind of funny. The summer festival was fun. They let us out of our lessons about an hour and a half early so JJ and I found this bar cafe on campus and had a couple beers before we went. They separated us into groups to compete in limbo, potato sack racing, fishing for ducks in the pond, and building sand castles. It was really fun. My group got third place in the whole thing. We were the only foreign group that got placed. HOLLA. they gave us a bottle of sparkling wine and food and drink tickets. We pretty much drank on campus from like 3 til midnight that day. With these Germans and how they drink , I really gotta pace myself. I've been doing well in the drinking department. Thank goodness I can't take much, cuz it is so expensive over here. On Friday we went to the European Parliament in Strausburg, France. I really like that city. I really like this city. Everyday I am here, I can see myself living here more and more. The last two nights we went to the disco.A lot of fun. They really like house/trance/techno music here. You know me, I'm not so much into that. I have realized that guys here are bags of dirt. The German ones are ok. I haven't come across any bad ones yet, but the American ones that are in the program. Dirt. Arrogant bags of dirt I tell you. I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up. I actually did on the bus yesterday and also called him an asshole. GAH. The only ones I like are JJ and Felipe. There are a few others I like but I hang out with these two the most cuz Felipe is in this hostel and JJ is a few blocks away so he kicks it here a lot. Felipe is cool cuz he is down for whatever and there is no drama with him. His intentions aren't to get girls or anything. He is just enjoying this trip. JJ is cool cuz he is just way mellow. He just wants to have fun and doesn't talk about girls in a derogatory way. He is pretty much my body guard. ok gtg vine tasting. ill talk about the girls later.
