Begin the Settling in Process

View from my language classroom. :D Yeeeeeeah!



Some of my class!


Marburg. Street view.

So, wow.

Things have continued to be busy but I'm starting to get a routine going and that's helping.
Get up 7 am. Shower. Catch the bus. Stop at the bakery. Get to class. Eat lunch. Get to other class. Then either shop/get groceries/do some other necessary thing in town before heading back to the dorm. Sleep.
Rinse. Repeat.
But I'm finding time to have fun in between!
This weekend was stellar. I got to sleep in past 9 for the first time since I got here. So Holly and I just lazed around and watched Dexter. Which is super dark and hilarious. Then we went out with Maria and tried to find the bar at Studentendorf. It took us a while, but we got it! And everyone had a fantastic time. We met up with some students from ISEP and they were super cool.
Then Dan and Connie came to visit on Sunday! It was great to see them :) and they brought me so many incredibly useful things! Like pots! And 3 seasons of Two and a Half Men!
Anyway, Marburg is beautiful. It's this awesome mixture of history and modernity. An old stone bridge stands just down the river of a super modern metal one. We went on a walking tour of the town (in the pouring rain, but it's hard to come by sunshine 'round these parts) and I was stunned. It was fantastic. There are so many adorable little shops my friends and I would like to check out. And Jen (the other Canadian) and I want to go back up to the castle when there's actually snow on the ground... then toboggan back down! Although, that could be a bad idea seeing as the walls aren't really ...there... sometimes. So, unless we get really good at steering, we might steer clear.

I'm supposed to be working on a presentation right now... I know, a presentation already!... But I'll put more later, when I've finished this homework... :D Tee hee!

Lots of love to everyone at home. Send me an e-mail or leave some love! I'd love to hear from people.

Rest in Peace Carly <3
