So I took a little break from writing but it wasn't on purpose. At first I was waiting to write about the Penn State scandal that broke last week and then the internet on campus decided not to work on a nightly basis. I think the internet is back up and working again so I hope to be posting more frequently.
The past two weeks have been crazy! Let me start at last week!
Monday - Thursday was my regular schedule of going to classes, doing homework, doing group projects, and going to LEO Club. Wednesday was insanely busy with classes & meetings. I drank coffee for the first time since I got to Europe and had 2 red bulls. (Sorry Mom!)
Friday is a different story. Friday was the start of Karneval. Karneval is a mix between Mardi Gras and Halloween. Crazy costumes, lots of drinking, singing, and partying in the streets. I had class in the morning so I missed the official kick of at 11:11 on 11/11/11 but I went to Köln later in the afternoon. By the time I got there EVERYONE was drunk. I was not drinking so it was kind of annoying to be around a lot of drunk people but also quite entertaining. I ended up seeing some friends who were going shopping. I ended up leaving the drunks behind and going shopping and out to dinner. It was a great night. I had a lot of fun!
Saturday and Sunday I was very lazy and didn't do anything other than homework and read. Monday I was very busy trying to finish a project that is worth 30% of my grade. We had the presentation for the project on Tuesday morning. It went really well.
I have finally figured out what I am doing for Christmas. I am going to IRELAND! I am going with two of the exchange students from Northern Arizona University. Deborah one of the girls I am going with has an Aunt that lives in Belfast. We will be flying from Frankfurt to Dublin on December 23rd. From Dublin we will take the train to Belfast until the 27th. On the 27th we will go back to Dublin until the 29th. We fly back to Frankfurt early on the 29th. I am so excited to go to Ireland! :)
I have also signed up to go to the Gala dinner next Thursday. There is a Gala Dinner every month and it is a different theme each month. This month is American Thanksgiving! I am super excited to go hang out with friends and eat a meal similar to one that will be served at my families Thanksgiving dinner.
Well that is it for now! I will hopefully post again soon!
