Welp, after much deliberation and some extra inspiration from a friend of mine who has a study abroad blog, I thought I'd create one. Even if it's not popular, I figure it will be a good thing to look back on one day since I am absolutely terrible at keeping a hand-written journal.
It's been a week and a day and I can honestly say Bonn is everything I thought it would be. The beer is just as good as they say it is! I never thought of myself as a beer-drinker, but I figured if I am going to spend four months in Germany, I'd damn well better get used to it - good decision. First week of class is over (though it was kind of a joke anyways), and our second weekend is here! So much has happened over the past eight days, but here is a little overview:
-Toured the city of Bonn
-Went to Eifel and Monreal to see castles and fortress ruins!
-Got acquainted with the group (we are awesome)
-Got lost about 15 times
-Became addicted to nutella
-Fell in LOVE with my host family (they are absolutely amazing)
-Realized I packed too much
-Drank too much for my own good
Those are just a few of the things that have happened, and luckily I will be able to keep up to date now that I have this nifty little blog. Tonight I am staying in because last night kicked my butt. About ten of us in the group went to a club called N8schicht, which my host dad said means "work in the night" in German. Not sure about the working thing, it looked more like the ultimate playground to me (I even broke my black heeled boots from tearing up the dance floor). Like the rest of my friends, I got around an hour and a half of sleep so needless to say German class this morning was utterly miserable. Tomorrow we are going to Cologne - the REAL party town about 20 minutes away - and God knows I'm gonna need some rest for that. Oh, how I love the weekends.
Tschuss! (German for Bye)
