Yay! Fun stuff to talk about!

I finally have good news and fun stuff to talk about. I really enjoyed Katie's and Jenny's blogs about Florida. I became really jealous when I saw the beach pictures, considering it was snowing here when I looked at them. In fact, its still snowing here. On the one hand, this is extremely exciting, because I've never seen this much snow before. On the other hand, I REALLY hate the cold weather. I'm totally ready for summer. The German summer, not the Texas summer. That's a bit too warm for comfort.
Anyway, I found out today that I'm going to have no trouble moving into my new dorm next week. Yay! I don't have to stay in a youth hostel. The new place I'll be living is in the German ghetto, but oh well. The building itself looks nice. Also, I discovered, fortunately not the hard way, that it would take way more than thirty minutes to walk from my dorm to the school. The tram ride itself took about twenty minutes, so I don't think I'm going to mind spending the money for a semester pass.
Also, last night, the group watched the German movie that just won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. (I totally forgot the name). I didn't understand all of it, but I think I got the gist. Afterwards, we went to an Irish pub and a drinks and had fun Irish dancing. Well, actually, I didn't exactly have a drink. I had a Coconut Kiss, which is the non-alcoholic equivalent of a Pina Colada. Sorry to disappoint you Jenny. I had a blast Irish dancing. I realized afterwards, that this was the first time I've ever actually been social dancing. Irish dancing is sort of like a combination of line dancing and square dancing set to Irish sounding music. Fortunately, they teach you how to do the dances before they start, or else I wouldn't have tried it. Though, I still had a bit of a struggle, considering all the instructions were in German.
Okay, I think that's all for now. I have to go fill out the scholarship application for the German Department Scholarship. Please pray that I'll get it!
Bis später!
