Basically the last few weeks have been filled with school, parties, practice and thats about it. The first weeks we went on some tours of Luebeck, which is exactly how I pictured Europe in my head. The buildings are all right next to each other, built tall instead of wide. A lot of the roads are made out of brick. I started practicing with a new cheer team, which is a lot of fun. One team is an all girl team that I'm basically coaching and the other team is a partner stunt team that I coach/am on. They're are pretty good I suppose, hopefully after a year of coaching them they will be great. I hope to get some pictures of them performing soon. I've learned a lot of german from them because not all of them can speak english. Most of the time they speak german to me and I speak simple german/english to them. So far it has worked well. I understand them, they understand me. It's weird, because I'm starting to speak "Germish" which is a combination of German and english. I use english words, but german grammar structures, it makes it easier for the germans to understand me.
School is going alright. All of my professors are really boring, and seem to make quite a few mistakes that we have to correct. This isn't very good for me, because these are the classes that I actually need for the future. Hopefully I will be able to get some use out of them. Labs are pretty intense here, more so than at MSOE. The lectures themselves are easy, but an hour and a half long and sometimes we have doubles, which means the same class back to back.
The Germans know how to party. Enough said.
Pictures will be shown soon, I bought a moped :). Currently I have a cold, which ruins my weekend. I have to do a bunch of homework because I have 2 labs next week and a lab presentation, and I have a large pile of laundry/my room is a mess. Unfortunately all I feel like doing is sleeping.

Long time
So I haven't posted in a while I know. Been quite busy with school/it took a while to get internet hooked up in my room. I absolutely love it here. Everybody is really nice, and I've met a ton of people from a bunch of different places. I hope to be able to make a blog every night so I can catch everybody up on what I've been doing. I don't have all(any) my pictures uploaded anywhere yet but I will do that soon.
