First day of School- and pre-test jitters

My hands have never shaken this hard before... ever! The entire introduction to Uni Mannheim was in German and I understood it perfectly! But when she handed out the test... Jitters to high himmel. Thats all I really want to say about that. I speak German very well, its wierd, I inherited Gillians German accent, along with the accent tones of other I'm around, and German's applaud my SPEAKING ability..however, when I see it on paper.... FREAK OUT! It must be all the Umlauts. lol.

So with that said. I opened my German bank account at the Deutsche bank! I can now start hiding funds overseas ;-) haha j/k.

Then I finally bought some flip flops, I FOUND ORANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Then I got some more bread, an umbrella and a few other odds and ends. I woke up to rain at about 6 a.m. and i think my computer got a little wet. Then it was sunny and warm the rest of the day.

After the day i hung out here and go to FINALLY talk and see Adam on skype. He is coming here over Thanksgiving break, even though we don't get a "thanksgiving." Im excited and already started making a list of Sehenswürdigkeiten that I can show him :-)

It was a nice sunset so Sydney, Rose and I decided to go to the Wasserturm and waste time. We stuck our feet in the water and took some pictures. Then we met up with David and talked about German movies, etc. David is awesome, he is one of the VISUM buddies who help show exchange students around and help them this this-and-that. But he hangs out with us for fun :-)

I had Dönner for Lunch in between errands, but it wasn't that good.

Tomorrow is also going to be a busy day, I have to get done all of the things that I didn't do today. Including registering for Uni so I can get my Ecum card, and really be a part of the Universität. Then I get to go on a tour of the palace!!

It should be a very fun-filled day. can't believe it's tuesday already. On Thursday we are going into Heidelberg!!!!

I miss GIllian and wish she were here, but its good that i can figure things out on my own, ja know? Ja voll!

Living here in Germany kinda made me think about all the "things" in Amerika that I can live without, not to be too specific, but things that aren't necessary, take up space, and are a waste of money.

I went shopping at Woolworth's today ( LOVE IT THERE!) and almost everything was a dollar, that why I love it.

And I found wine glasses for 49cents! So we can stop schlucking it out of the bottle.


Well, Its time for bed, tomorrow I get to find out what class they put me in and is the first real day of school! We go from 9-12 everyday.

Tschu∫ Leuchen!

Our Feet are the same!
