It seems the more German vocabulary I learn the more French I remember. I still haven’t the slightest clue how to string a sentence together in German, but I’m learning a lot of vocab.
We had a fun master class with Professor Moteki yesterday. Sometime after the class, Brendan, Sara and I all went for coffee. We ended up getting Eiskaffee; which isn’t exactly like our ice coffee. Here Eis means ice cream, so Eiskaffee is coffee with ice cream in it. We also split a dessert cake thing that had a chocolate piece on the top with music notes on it.
Once back at the college I grabbed my stuff and went to catch the bus home. Unfortunately when I walked out the door and saw all the traffic, it was not a good sign. I crossed the street and walked the couple of blocks to my bus stop. In that time, the traffic hadn’t moved an inch. Knowing traffic would be better once I was outside the main part of the city, I kept walking thinking to catch a bus further on. As it happened, everything was at a complete jam. I saw 5 buses heading back towards the city, and not a single bus going my way. It wasn’t until I had just passed the bus stop 2 stops from the house that a bus had finally caught up with me. At that point I was so close I kept walking. Of course it started to rain when I was one bus stop away, and by the time I reached home another bus had passed as well. The busses are supposed to be every 10 minutes during the week. Things were just a little off yesterday.
I beat everyone home. I went up to my room and completed my German homework then read for a while. Martina, Martin, Julia, Edith, Laura and I all enjoyed a wonderful dinner together. Afterwards Martin and Laura went up to bed and the rest of us cleaned up. Then we sat and had dessert and coffee. After the coffee, we played cards (rummy). Martina, Julia and Edith couldn’t just stared whenever I shuffled the cards. It’s all those years’ playing cards at the county and state fairs growing up. Martina brought out a bottle of red wine along with chips and pretzels. Needless to say, I didn’t get to bed until 11:30 and I am a little tired this morning.
I have a coaching with Mary Dibbern at 11 today, a makeup lesson with Yvonne at 12:30, lunch at 1, then home. I need to get ready for our midterm concert; which is this evening at 5:00.
I hope you wake up to a wonderful day today. The sun is shining here!!
