I thought I’d do one more post before I go back to America for the weekend. Yes, I’m going back to America. For the weekend… I have an interview in Ohio for a job I REALLY REALLY REALLY want! I would be working for Kappa Kappa Gamma!
Anyway, I thought I’d fill you all in with what we did today and then explain my nightly ritual here in Germany… LOL!
This afternoon, after lunch, our teacher that is from here asked us if we’d like to go on a walk in the town and go over a little bit of history and stuff. Seeing as it was a lovely day outside, we all agreed! The sky was VERY dark off in the distance, but that didn’t scare us!
We went on this walk and started at the city Schloss (castle, which I’m dumb and didn’t take pictures of.. but I’ll get one soon, I promise!). It was very pretty, but is still used for Government business, so we couldn’t really do any touristy things except look at it.
We continued to walk through town as our professor pointed out specific historic buildings, signs, etc. We saw some police officers and, just because our professor from Simpson, PC, told us NO POLIZEI while we were in Germany, I asked if we could take a picture with them, you know – to be sassy! So we did. 🙂 Great fun! They didn’t even think we were weird. They even ended up talking to us for a few minutes after the photo-shoot.
We kept walking and then randomly stumbled upon the Stadtmuseum (city’s museum), which I had NO idea was there. We ended up going inside and, although there is a fee, our teacher somehow got us all in for free. Good thing too, because that museum was AWESOME! Seriously… Awesome. There was SO much history about the city and artifacts and it was in an old building that’s been modernized in some parts. There were, like, nooks and crannies you could go in and random staircases you could go up/down everywhere. It was great! We were probably there for over an hour, but there was so much to see, I’d like to go back! (and I’d even pay for it!!)
Now for another fun tid-bit of information: MY NIGHTLY RITUAL! (okay, it’s not, like, ritual ritual, but routine, I guess…)
Every night after I get ready for bed, I turn of my lights, but turn on my fireplace (yes, there’s a fireplace in my room!!) and sit at the end of my bed to get my little toezies warm while I write in my journal (thanks, Jared! – he got me moleskein journals for Christmas!). Once I’m done, I put some quiet, classical music on on my iPad and play solitaire on it until my eyes start to glaze over. Then I know I’m ready for sleep, so I turn of the fireplace and crawl into bed and pass-out. Exciting, right? Okay, maybe not, but I figured some random information wouldn’t hurt anything. Or perhaps I just like to brag about the fact that I have a fireplace in my bedroom. 😉
Welp, I should probably finish packing, since I have a big flight tomorrow!! 🙂
Until next time…
