After the game we went to McDonalds and got a shake and some curly fries. A couple weird things about the MacDon’s here: They charge 20 cents for every pack of ketchup you get. And…they serve the curly fries with sour cream. I thought it sounded weird, but I tried it and decided I like it better than ketchup! And, there is shrimp on the menu! And, there is no such thing as “super sized” (not that I wanted to!). AND weirdest of all, when you walk in the first set of doors there is a place for your dog to eat—for free. I couldn’t even believe that.
Even though yesterday was Thursday…I’m having a hard time remembering everything I did but here is what I can think of… Natalie and I woke up around 10 and went to the University so Blabi could help us figure out what classes we are going to take. We ended up having to go talk to some advisor to ask a few questions and then when we were ready to sign up, we released we didn’t have a username and password—and we had no clue how to get one. So, anyway, we went home and made lunch and I asked around and eventually managed to get a name and password. Whew.
At 2:30, we went to the city center—which is called Heilegengeis Platz—to get a few things from Woolworths (the closest thing to a target…but really not even close) and from Spar (the closest thing to a Fareway). We met a friend from Kansas there—Gavin—and helped him search for a man-bag (because all guys seem to have one over here), but we had no luck. After all our shopping was done, we went over to Mozartheim to meet Blabi so that he could help us register for classes.
SO, starting this Monday, this is what my schedule will be:
Monday— 2:00-4:00 Topics in American Studies
5:30-7:00 English for Computing 1
Tuesday— 2:00-4:00 Topics in Australian Studies
5:30-7:00 Kickboxing
Wednesday— 8:30-10:00 Survey of English Linguistics
2:30-4:30 English for Business Administration 1
Thursday— 4:00-6:00 English for Business Administration 2
8:30-10:00 Ab-Power
Friday— Absolutely NOTHING!
Natalie also has a good schedule, but she doesn’t have class on Thursday or Friday! Talk about amazing! I’m pretty excited for all of these ones—especially my first class…it’s based on the Vietnam war, and we’ll be reading a book that I read my senior year of high school…so that shouldn’t be too bad. Oh yeah…all of these classes are taught in English—I wouldn’t pass a single one if they were in German.
ANYWAY, we left Blabi’s and went back home. We cooked supper and then watched some TV off our computer. Earlier that day I put a Mars bar (a milky way) in the freezer so I could have a snack after dinner. BUT, when I went to get it, it was gone! Evidently someone stole it—and believe me, I was MAD! I know, it was only a candy bar…but I had been looking forward to it all day long! So, I settled for some popcorn, ate that and went to bed.
This morning I woke up and went for my run. Remember how after my first run this month I could only go about ten minutes before being out of breath and walking?? WELL, today I ran for 45 minutes STRAIGHT, and then walked for 45 minutes afterwards. I’m not back in shape yet…but I’m definitely making some progress! Oh yeah, and I saw someone else running in shorts and t-shirt today!
After running, I came home and could 2 sausages for lunch (aka hotdogs) and now here I am! I hope you all have a great Leap Year Day!
