Kurztag (Short Day)

Wednesday is the best day of the week for me. I only have German from 9-12, and then I'm finished for the day! I really enjoy German class. As I said earlier, our instructor is so nice! I feel like I'm learning a lot, which is great because I try to speak more in German with my host family. I only wish they would correct me when I say something wrong and tell me what the German word is when I don't know.

We ate at the Mensa again for lunch. This time I thought I saw mashed potatoes with gravy, and I got super excited!! It turns out it was rice with gravy. Who does that?! So instead I got noodles and cooked potatoes with gravy. Not the same thing but it was ok food. Oh and I got a pretzel. I love my carbs haha. I was crushed when Malia told me my host family is required to fix me a hot meal every night for supper. I of course want something more than bread, but don't want to request a special hot meal for me.

For supper we had ciabatta bread with olives in it and the usual butter and cheese. We also what I believe is called Frikadellen.This is the equivalent of a hamburger. Although it was served cold. I have to say, initially I was excited to have something more than just bread, but after I started eating it, I was regretting my enthusiasm and taking a whole patty. I don't like cold hamburgers at home and certainly not this one either.

I went to watch my friend Chris swing dance. I had never seen swing performed so it was very interesting! The people varied in skill level. Some were doing all sorts of moves! It was really awesome to watch. The venue was a type of restaurant/bar/swing club. They had really good red wine, but I have no idea what kind it was. I love how cheap wine is here! I went to bed around 1. When I left, they were still going strong.
