I now have my mornings down to complete routine. Actually down to the minute when I leave. It's crazy how it works, but several mornings Malia and I happen to meet at the station where we both transfer trains. Pretty crazy since the trains come every couple of minutes. German went by as usual, only difference is exam tomorrow.
Lunch today was very exciting! I finally got my pasta fix! Trevor, Malia, and I went to a cute little Italian restaurant near school. I had pasta with a cream sauce and ham. It was the most amazing pasta I've ever tasted! Much to my own surprise I ate the entire thing without blinking. Many of you know that NEVER happens! Before the meal the waiter (authentic Italian) brought out a bruschetta for each of us. I have to say the best bruschetta also! We also ate the basket of bread on the table. I was certain we'd get charged for both. From what I've heard and read that's the norm. Much to my surprise we didn't. It was definitely more expensive than the Mensa, but not terrible. The pasta was a little less than 10 €, but I got a drink. I have noticed how drinks range between 2-4€. The sizes are not very big either. They are usually .2liter or .33liter. Let me tell you, that is tiny! And you better not drink much before the food comes. I love the Fanta here, but that gets expensive quick. No free refills - makes you really appreciate the states! Also, it seems that most places will bring out some sort of water for you too. I haven't been enough places to make a generalization, but it seems they try to be like the US in that aspect.
Short day today, so I went home after lunch. Not too exciting of an evening. Bread and spread for dinner, and tons of studying for my German exam tomorrow.
