So while I sit here and wait and wait and wait for it to be two am, so that I can watch the religious forum here on my computer with all the other weird Americans who are into politics, I thought I would tell make a post to kill some time. This week was pretty uneventful, Monday we made baklava, it was pretty good, not quite as good as Austins moms, but still good none the less. The weather got pretty cold and rainy here this week, it's been nice that it's not really hot any more, but it's August, it shouldn't be so cold yet! I've had to wear my fleece jacket to stay warm the past couple of days. I started looking into the classes I want to take in Vienna since I have to decide that soon. I'm trying to decide betwee taking a couple of Econ classes, one I need to take and another on the European economy, perhaps a math class, a sociology class, waltzing and I'm really tempted to take a class on Luther's theology, there are like 10 times the amount of classes to choose from than at AC, but the hard part is figuring out what I think I'll be able to understand in German.
So every weekend there is an excursion offered by the Goethe Institute to another city somewhere nearby, this weekends was to Nurnberg and I actually went! I was so traveled out after the first two weeks here that I didn't want to go to the other two, one was to Stuttgart the other to Wurzenberg. But today was a lot of fun. We had a really good tour guide, who I actually understood lead us around the city and give us the history. We ate some Nurnberger Sausage, probably the best sausage I've had since I've been here. We went to a toy museum too, that was pretty neat, there's been one in every city and we finally decided it was worth it to go when I wasn't the one paying for it. It wasn't the best thing ever, but it was still neat to see the progression of toys.
Classes end here on Wednesday for this semester and then the parents come back on Thursday so we can go to Switzerland for 10 days before the next month here at the Goethe Institute.
Time is just flying by here like you wouldn't believe, I can't believe the first month here is already just about finished, it seems like it just started yesterday!
I miss you guys,
take care
Ann

I'm curious if the toys at the Nurnberg toy shop are based on the Nazi trials, toy gavels, gallows and barrister wigs? "I want to be Hermann Göring this time, I'm tired of being Rudolf Hess."
