day 11 and part of 12

actually today is day 12 but i didn't have time to type yesterday

first i woke up early to finish homework then went to class in class we did birthday stuff because it was Andreas birthday. after class we had lunch then i went online to talk to mom and dad and to post my blog and research stuff then i made dinner (spaghetti tomato sauce and a brezel roll) while i was making dinner two of the people who eat together all the time were making there dinner (stew) so when i was done i did my dishes and theirs (because I'm a nice person) and one of them invited me to eat with them.(because i did the dishes) i figured yeah there gonna eat to early to get drunk and i have to leave to watch the movie before then any way so its a good chance to meet my fellow Americans. so i said yes so i did home work while the stew stewed and then ate with about 8-10 of them. thomas (a music major from Austin Texas) said we need dinning music and i said I have vavaldi. thomas liked the idea james on the othere hand did not (he is a music major from central) it is his opinion that all baroque music sounds the same both thomas and i were ready to slap him but we restrained our selves. during the violin solo in spring i said this is my favorite violin solo and almost every one agreeded its amazing. and the conversations stopped as soon as the first phrase of winter was played what is my favorite movment. after that we discusssed the energy problem i think i was one of the few who understood that the problem is not finding alternative energy we know about it already the problem is implementing it. any way the disscusion wound down and i went to the movie "good bybe lenin" the movie was in german with german subtitles which helped alot.

basicaly the movie is about a mother and her children (eastern berlin) who were separated about 2 months before the wall fell in berlin. the mother went into a coma and woke up eight months later so the son had to buy back the old appartment and decorate it the way it was to make her feel at home. the he had to find all the old food stuffs that they use to eat which didn't exist any more because of capitalism so he transfered the new food brands contents into old jars. then the mother realy wanted to watch tv so he and his coworker had to find old videos from a year before. then crazy stuff started to happen like the building outside her window had a coca cola flag hung on the side of it so they had to make fake news programs to convince her that berlin was still separated and one day she got out of the house and saw all the new capitalist stuff and they eventually had to make a fake news program that said that the wall had just fallen. it was a funny film if you can find it in english i highly recomend it.

in my opinion the pinical of musicis the baroque style, the concept of many things happening at once is very exciting.


and now it is thursday to day i hae to go to the office to sign up for the mercedes museum and maybe the rothenburg trip.
any way class will start soo so i'm gonna stop now.

now im gonna write about today.
today in class we had to do research for a trip to munich my group has a brazilian uy in it who claims to have the information so all we had to do was look up pictures to print up. he better have the information or i'll have his head. in othere news i did find out that there is a website for the train station system here in germany i plan to use it to plan my trip to stuttgart when the library opens. i think culture shock is starting to set in but im not sure if its culture shock or home sickness. either way i havent felt this way since i went to flordia on a mission trip in 5th grade. i don't think its jet lag i should be over that by now.

i signed up to go to the mercedes mueseum on wendsday and i plan to sign up for the trip to rothenburg either tomarrow or saterday.
last night we discussed our week long break plans the group wants to go to denmark (to get drunk i suspect) then stop in different towns on the way back here. i think i would like to go to munchin then go to nurnberg then come back here. but i haven't made my mind up yet
i have two weks to decide.

tonight there is a get to know people thing with food so i think i'll sign up for that.

i have been thinking about what i want to do after graduation and i think i would like to work at central and contiue taking classes probably one class per semester or year. but then again my plans have shanged so much i' not sure what i would like to do.
any way i think this blog is done for now
have a good day
