I suck at German.

Well, well. My internet still isn’t working. It’s quite upsetting. I need internet!

I found out last night via my dictionary that the stop that I get off at to go to my dorm (am Bischofskreuz) means at the bishop’s cross. It's a street nearby.

Some differences I’ve noticed between the US and Germany (besides language):
- great public transportation
- no drink refills
- guys wear capris all the time but not shorts
- all adolescent/young teenage boys look the same and walk the same (this one is slightly exaggerated)
- business hours are much more limited
- parking on the curb because the streets are so narrow
- no drinking fountains
- more smoking and/or smoking more freely
- the bottled water is mostly carbonated
- no screens for the windows
- no mosquitoes in this area

Today I took a placement test for my first language course. Bah, it will not be a good result. But if I’m put in a class that’s a lower level, at least it should be relatively easy for me. Afterwards, I went to Sarah’s dorm with Becky, Jocelyn, and Alex and made dinner. Correction: I watched them make dinner. It was penne noodles with feta cheese and fried zucchini and peppers with garlic, spices, and chicken. Mmm, it was very very very good. Then I went back to my room and saw that I could pick up the wireless again, but that the LAN still wasn’t working. So I checked some email and wrote out some postcards.

This morning/afternoon I bought a new backpack, a fan, and some postcards. The backpack is blue and it’s a little bright for me, but I didn’t want to spend anymore. The one I bought was 25 Euros and that was even too expensive for me.
