The first sign of snow in Deutschland!

Today while in my Aufbaukurs (German Grammer class) I glanced drausin (outside) and beheld a wonderous sight! Snow! Yes, that's right. Granted, it didn't stick, and felt more like wet mush, but it means that snow doth approach! Anyway, weekend update: I went to a painting party, where my friend had purchased two large canvases and wanted his friends to paint him pictures. We also wore white shirst and he brough some markers that we could color our shirts with. The next day, Chelsea, Mike and I visited a nearby town called Walenbuch (literally translated, Forestbook...amazing!) and went to the Ritter Sport Chocolate Factory! I guess we couldn't actually get a tour of the chocolate-making process BUT we bought a load of chocolate for really cheap! Mmmmm sehr lecker! (very tasty!) I'm pretty sure you can find Ritter Sport in America, but it might be a bit more pricy. However, wenn du Lust hast (if you want) you should buy some, I promise you won't regret it!

Tonight, I'm going to try out a belly dancing class, haha. Then I'm going to a movie tonight with a bunch of friends. Every monday, the Blau Brucke Kino (Blue Bridge Movie Theater) plays a special movie (in Deutsch of course) and with the price of entrance (6.60 Euros) you get a glass of Champagne. What a fun way to see a movie, right? How classy =) Afterward, I'll be continuing my homework of reading a bunch of articles about cultural differences in Germany vs. America, and reporting on my findings. Easy enough, just time consuming.

Next week is Chelsea and my birthday! Haven't a clue what I'm doing though. We want to see Wicked, The Witch from Oz in German, b ut the cheapest ticket is on Weds. nights, so this weekend is still wide open. Since my very close friends aren't here with me, I'm not totally motivated to do much for my birthday. I think we'll probablly go to Stuttgart that weekend and stay with our Swedish friend who lives there now. In any case, it'll be a fun day and I'll enjoy whatever happens. =)

That's about it, for now. Love you all!
