My legs are cold and my feet hurt.

Good morning. I took a test today and I didn’t like it. But now that class is over and when I get back, I’ll only have six hours of class a week. Not bad.

Tonight, some of us made brownies. And then I walked from Händelstrasse to Bertoldsbrunnen and beat the Strassenbahn.

In the afternoon, we got a tour of the Stadttheater. I never imagined that there would be so much stuff behind the stage. It was really cool. There was a huge banana.

As I was leaving the brownie-making tonight, they were saying ‘if I don’t see you before you leave, have a good Christmas’ and stuff like that. It made me sad. …And I’m only going to be gone for two weeks. What’s going to happen when we all leave for good? I can’t even imagine it. Not only will I be leaving all these new friends, but I will also be leaving Freiburg, a city that I love. It was the same thing with leaving Ann Arbor this summer, except I had fewer good friends there at the time. But it was still sad. So… yeah.

And Mary has 72 days of music on her iTunes. Crazy.

I went to my favorite Döner place again and a younger guy took my oder (yufka). The owner guy was down the counter a little ways, and he looked over and said 'Wie geht's?' (~how's it going) to me. I was surprised, but answered nevertheless. It was fun to feel like a regular at an eating establishment.

As I was on my way to Betoldsbrunnen from Mary's tonight, some random guys were walking around... one guy was dressed asa Santa Claus. I tried to avoid them, but they were on the same side of the street as I was and one guy walked right in my path and asked if I liked Lebkuchen. I said ok and he held out his Santa bag and I took a piece from the bag. Nice and random, I guess.
