English, English, English
Hi. Tonight I went to the StuSie bar with Alex. He had met some people from Australia and such in one of his classes and was meeting them there. The people were definitely fun. There were a few from Australia, a couple from Canada, a girl from Belgium, possibly some from the England, and a guy from Northern Ireland. Later another random English speaking person showed up. The guy from Northern Ireland asked if I had a blog. I said yes, and he then said that he had actually possibly seen it when looking for things about Freiburg and StuSie. Wow. So apparently there could be other people reading this too. I guess that happens when you put stuff on the internet.
Anyone ever heard of “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!... Oy, oy, oy!”?
Today was ok. The instructor of my class this morning was cute. Oh, and I think I’ll enjoy the content of the class.
It’s fun when German words pop into my head before English words. For example, when I was typing the sentence before, I thought of the word ‘Inhalt’ before ‘content’. And as I was typing this paragraph, I thought I misspelled ‘English’ at first because it’s ‘Englisch’ in German. And today in my IH class, I forgot how to spell ‘elephant’ in English (it’s ‘Elefant’ in German).
Sorry if this is weirdly written. I’m a little buzzed. And I’m tired and have to wake up early tomorrow morning. Way too early. It’s a good thing I read through the first few paragraphs.
“You’re like a pretzel!”
- Alex after seeing the position of my legs on the train ride back from Assisi
“You look nice tonight.”
“Yeah… no clean clothes.”
- conversation between the N. Irish guy (Jim?) and someone else tonight at the bar
“I like the beaver.”
- Isabelle, the Belgian girl, at the bar

Saw an article about the photos of the German soldiers in Afghanistan (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061026/ap_on_re_eu/germany_afghan_soldiers). Seeing as you were here when Abu Ghraib came out; how would you compare the Germans response?
It just seems like so far the German government is being much more firm then the US was a couple years ago.
I have no idea. That question sounds too academic for me.
I have DEFINTILY heard of "Aussie Aussie Aussie oy oy oy"
HAHAHAHAHA
altho, less people say (regularly) than i would have thought... but they cheer it a lot while watching international sporting events
I sometimes watch Tri-Nations rugby on TV with my neighbor... who is a 79 year old Aussie woman, we drink tea/coffee/beer/whatever and cheer for the Aussies (occasionally New Zealand, if we dont like the other team) :P
haha i thought it was funny.
