Sorry it’s been so long, I’ve been so busy! Class work piles up when you take more than one English class. I had to give a presentation this week in my British Literature course on Poverty In India, because we all met up to see Slumdog Millionaire last week. It was so much fun to get to discuss one of my favorite movies with a whole class of interested people.
Last friday I went to Heidelberg with a bunch of friends, including Stephen and his girlfriend Katie, who is visiting right now. Heidelberg is even older than Freiburg, and definitely feels it. We walked down the Hauptstrasse (main street), which must be the LONGEST street in the world, up to the castle, which now partly ruins. It has beautiful gardens and the BIGGEST F*ING beer keg i’ve ever seen!
After the castle, Stephen and Katie and I went down to the Neckar River and relaxed for a while. Then dinner, then the long train ride home. (we have to take the super slow local trains cause its cheaper)
Monday nights my friends and I have started going to the irish pub for quiz night, we rarely win anything but I love the irish pub because I can get chicken caesar wraps there, and I’ve been going a lot with friends to watch soccer, pardon me- football.
Yesterday my friend Mari, from Finnland, had a birthday. A bunch of people came to my apartment and we baked a cake for her, then Mari came over and we surprised her with it. The cake looked horrible, but it tasted delicious!
Saturday I’m going to Milan! woohoooooo

Glad to hear things are going well, although busy. What happens on quiz night at the Irish Pub? Heidelberg sounds great; maybe I’ll make it there sometime. Have a great time in Milan (how could you not?!). Is it a group (school) trip or are you going with friends?

it is a school sponsored trip, which is why it is so cheap =)
