Wie geht's! Es geht mir gut!

I guess I'm same old same old here. Um, haven't been up to too much. I went to Frankfurt last weekend to visit a friend, and had a good time. I can't wait to move up to Mainz. I just feel like I'm in a hole in the wall down here. I am actually going up to Mainz in two weeks to meet my host family and check out my school...and so on.

Um, I finally saw La Auburge Espanole (I totally spelled that wrong) last weekend with Christof. It was such a good movie...it reminded me so much of last year at St. Thomas. Just the random moments...I recommend it!

Today was just one of those days where I just didn't want to be here, or doing anything. I guess I just wanted to finally be in Mainz doing something. I don't really feel like I learn that much German in the classroom. I probably learn just as much watching TV. But, whatever. It will pass and I'll go on another month and survive until I move again. My German skills still suck. My learning curve is just not that steep...

My sister Nancy should be in Ireland now- so, kudos to her for getting out of the country before the Republican National Convention commenced!

I had Mexican food last weekend in Frankfurt! I was kind of happy. It's not like any sort of Mexican food you can find in the US (Or frankly, in Mexico), but it was better than nothing. I only miss crazy things when I leave the country, I swear. When I was at home, I ate Mexican food every once in a while, but when you can't have access to it at all...that's all you want. You see, the problem here is that they don't have the beans, salsa or cheese. The most common cheeses here are Gouda, Swiss, Mozzerela and some other white cheese. The restaurant I went to to have the food was...well...let's just say the restaurant had enough cheese-ness to it to make up for the abundance of gouda. Bad joke...I take full responsibility.

Well, gotta get moving! Talk to you later! Drop me an email!
