Regen, Regen, geh weg!
Yep, the nice rain that everyone craves for in Tampa, well, its here. Nice, slow…wet. And freakn’ cold. My jeans were wet as I told the zwischen test, to test my German knowledge so far. We (students) are half way through the kurs material, Yippee. I matched highest grades earned in the entire class on all the parts so far (Grammar, Reading, Listening) but I only passed 70-80% of the material. The written portion will be returned to us tomorrow. We had to write a short letter to a friend back home and answer 5 questions within the letter, z.B. How is the language course? I didn’t know either of the verbs in one of the questions: unternommen? anyone?
I am eating a big lunch now. On the weekdays, I cook. It’s much, much cheaper. However, since I have become a little more familiar with asking for things, I have been tempted to sneak into a nice Bavarian Restaurant for some Bierand Schweinshaxen auf Sauerkraut.
No, no, no…there is a nice Supermarket (funny that’s what they are called but it is smaller than a Walgreens). called, ALDI, that has very inexpensive and fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, 750mL of good (that is, some where outside of Germany) wine for only 2 Euro! Pepsi and Coke are more expensive than Bier and Wein! Weirdos. I am having corn on the cob (btw, very sweet & yummy), a salad, and a small Paprika Steak (made with pork). Big for me, but I wasn’t satisfied with the test results today so I am planning to study without stomach interruptions.
I have lived here for a month already. Wow! I am starting to miss friends and family (hi Mom!) from back home. Most of the people I met from school are temporarily staying in Munich. I like to listen to their accents. But hopefully as the summer wanes I will meet actual students living or studying here in Muenchen.
