Timmy vs. David Hasselhof
Happy Thanksgiving (Yesterday)! How was it for everyone? Send me an email and let me know how it all went down and what you all did. I had a good Thanksgiving. My roommate and I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for our host parents, advisor, tutorin and two friends. We made a cranberry glazed turkey basted with wine and butter, two pumpkin pies, two pecan pies, mashed potatoes, a walnut-apple salad, stuffing, cornbread and cranberries from a can. It was pretty good. We ate on and off for about two hours. Then, we all sat around and drank wine and tried a Hungarian schnapps. We followed that with Pie and espresso. Then, a few hours later we had another piece of pie and coffee. So, it was as traditional as I could hope for. Jo, Hannes and I sat around pondering who would win an ice skating race between Timmy from Southpark and David Hasselhof. We would bank on Timmy because he's got that speedy wheelchair. David, however, would not be running on his familiar beach-sand surface. So, he would fall because he would not be able to handle the icy surface...and in the end, lose.

Back to Thanksgiving, we didn't screw up anything too much. We spent a lot of time planning out and preparing that, things went fairly well. So, can't complain.

For those who haven't heard, I finally secured my internship. So, I am just waiting for my work permit. Yay! One less thing for me to worry about, thank goodness. So, now I just need to obsess and worry about my German skills. Not as good as I wish they were, still.

Next week, I'm going to be in Bonn competing in a Model UN competition. It should be mad fun. At least, I hope it's mad fun. If anything, I get to see a few friends I knew from MN.

How is everything at home? Has hockey started? Snow, yet?
