Hochstadt von Baden-Württemburg

i need to write before this leaves my memory. nothing too eventful, though. StudIT made a day trip to Stuttgart. like i said earlier, i bounced around a lot. met a few new faces, ganz toll immer.

sorry to flip flop languages, but i've come to find that some phrases i can only express auf Deutsch. you can look up a translation if you really care. diese Dinge sind schon nicht so wichtig.

um, yeah. Stuttgart. not exactly the prettiest town. it's nice to have a city close by, though. i guess. i'm more interested in snowboarding at the moment. i couldn't go to sleep the other night after Eva said she could bring my board. i'm still debating matters with money, but i think i deserve to have one indulgence (and prep for moving out west). =)

not much else is going on before the semester. had a small get together last night with tons of dip, hamburgers and on the fly potatosalad. i'm using the leftover meat for chili. thank you so much to my father for packing Gewürze into film canisters for me (and then to Mom for having the sense to label them with something other than numbers). Leben ist ganz besser mit lecker Essen! i'm enjoying sending my photos as postcards. it's expensive, but something i purposefully prepared myself for. leave your address if you like mail that's not bills. i eat Joghurt for little kids because you get magnets with letters of the alphabet and a corresponding animal. i'm totally going to have thunder thighs when i get back to the States because of the hill my Wohnheim is on. it's already below freezing at night. can't wait for that snow! ... or Weihnachten in Irland ... or the semester to start, for that matter.
