feeling clumsy
So, yeah, Tiff wrote before I did today. That's ok, really. It gives me a chance to not think as much, which is always good when you've had to use your brain as much as I feel like I have.
Yeah, you guessed it. German 201's still giving me headaches. I'm managing though. Der Whiskymixer mixt Whisky-Der Whiskymixer mixt Whisky-Der Whiskymixer mixt Whisky. I've got to say that and 5 other tongue twisters tomorrow. I hate tongue twisters. That's why I'm a writer, not a speaker. But I guess I can't write all the time.
Too bad.
The bees here were out to get me today. I accidently injured one at lunch, and it spent the rest of the time clumsily circling me, trying to figure out which end to sting me with. Then another one attacked me while I was getting a picture of the university's wierd architecture/modern art. I fled.
Tiff already told you about our mexican. We're going to have to work harder next time. My roommate told me Peppers, in Heidplatz, serves mexican. It looked distinctly italian to me, but he's the native. I'm going to scout it out tomorrow.
I've come to greatly appreciate my CD's since I came over here with only 8 of them: I have the Dazed and Confused soundtrack, the X-Files Movie soundtrack, Barenakedladies Greatest Hits, BNL's Stunt, B.B. King's Greatest Hits, Miles Davis, Count Bassie, and Audio Adrenaline's Some Kind of Zombie. Then I've got my "work mix," 8 hours of single tracks from various mix cds plus an entire Doors album. It's keeping me comfortable while all the German's listen to disturbingly American pop (Justin Timberlake and Beyonce). They seem to think it's Hip-Hop, which is even stranger. I guess it's just something mixed up in the transfer.
Speaking of mixed up, the picture page is half-up. It's not exactly what I'd envisioned, but it's there. http://mikehopper.tzo.com . The first pictures were taken by one of the professors, mine are in the dated folder(s). I've got an html index that has the pictures labelled, but I don't have anywhere to put it yet. I've also got another half a card that I'll be uploading soon.
Now it's time for sleep.
