Die Erste Woche

This was the first week of school, but most of my classes do not start until next week. This then, turned into going out for a lot of fun, meeting all of the new people coming in. I finally have a group of Germans to kick with with, who are chill and lots of fun. They only speak German, and with the girls from last night, many had a Schwabish dialekt or Oberfranken, etc. Some I could not understand, but it's fun this way, so I can learn to understand everybody. One of the girls speaks english to me, and I speak back in German. Then, we help each other along. So nice, I feel like my acquisition of the language is finally starting to pick up.

So, here are some pics from the end of my ferien ('vacation') in Wuerzburg. And a few from this week:


It's been like sommer here, we spend the days laying out here by the river


Lots of ducks! This one tried to run away from me...

Last night, in the taxi coming home. Next to me is Verena, my Nachbarin (neighbor) and Lena, who plays soccer. Last night was the 'shuttle party'. 5 Euro, and its the eintritt (entrance fee) for 25 different diskos/bars.
