German Classes

I thought I was having trouble managing the publishing of my posts, but since Jenny commented, I must be doing it right. So far, I've had only two German classes, but I've learned so much already. (For clarification, this month, I'm taking classes to learn German, next month, I'll actually be taking normal classes. Providing I learn enough German, of course). I have class Monday through Friday from 9.15 to 12:30. I know that sounds really horrible, but we get a thirty minute break, long enough for the class to sit down and enjoy coffee at the German version of Java City. Also, our professor is so much fun. Its actually kind of sad when I look down at my watch and discover the class is already over. Or, well, at least it should be. Frau Nothen goes overtime a lot, but nobody minds. (See? Its not just me being totally geeky. The whole class feels this way). Anyway, the class consists of six Americans (me included), two Italians, a Norwegian, a Turk, two Koreans, and three Japanese girls. Its really cool to be around so many international students. I haven't made too many German slip ups yet. (Well, this morning I mistakenly thought the German word for mushroom was a type of beer, but hey, anyone could made that mistake, right? Pilze and Pils? My Italian friends thought it was hilarious).
Anyway, tonight, Claudie and Manuela (my aforementioned Italian friends) and I are going to go out for drinks. It feels really weird saying that. When I get back to America, I wont be able to say that again for another two years. Oh, well. Not that I really drink anyway. Speaking of drinking, I found a bar built into my dorm the other night. Too bad you all live in a Puritan society.
This weekend I get to go on one of the excursions offered by the language school. I can either go to Heidelberg or Basil. I can't decide which one. Either way, I'm really excited. Get ready for some pictures!
