Grüß Gott

Today was our first day of Intensive German Language class and man was it intense. 3.5 hours of trying with frustration to pronounce that guttural back of the throat thing that only native speakers can really do...ha! But most of the people in the class were about on the same level as me, there was a small group of people who actually know something about German that were bored out of their minds while the rest of us were completely lost, trying to make sense of the half-english, half-German instructions our teacher was giving us. So, it should be an interesting next two weeks. I still am not sure what classes I am going to be taking this semester, right now it is looking like a random mix of electives because all of the science classes I wanted are only being taught in German. On the bright side, class doesn't start till 2:30 tomorrow, so I am going have some fun tonight, and I got a sweater from H&M yesterday for 5 euros! Wish me luck tomorrow as I attempt to pay my rent. Hope everything is under control back home!

Greetings from Athens, GA...soon to be Vegas! Work just isn't the same without all the counselors from Camp Tanasi. Good luck with that class schedule. Sounds like you are having a great time.
