Hm. I live in Germany. Weird.

First day of class in the city. So, of course, I explored a little beforehand. Thoughts that went through my head (not necessarily in order):

• I'm not sure if I can park here, but it's definitely out of the way of traffic, and they did.
• I should have paid more attention in my German 101 when they taught us the word for "smoke." Only at BYU is it obsolete.
• Ugh. I hate being the gross person in the class with the incessant coughing and nasal issues. Especially on the first day. Embarrassing.
• A GELATO SHOP?! Not quite frozen yogurt... but I'll take it!
• Thank goodness it's so cold otherwise I would be eating gelato right now, and every day that I have class. Then I would be poor. And fat.
• I'm not sure which is stranger, the fact that the first person I came across asked me for directions (apparently I look like I know what I'm doing, eh?), or the fact that she asked in English (where's the sign? I'm hoping people here just assumes everyone speaks English and it was nothing personal).
• Why do these people not believe in public bathrooms!?
• The cheapest thing I can find in this store is a tank top. And it's €49.
• What I sweet old church thing which I am too lazy to post pictures of right now. (You'll have to wait in suspense.)
• Oh I hope no one tries to talk to me in the store.
• "Südamerikan (South American) Steakhouse" Apparently I need to be better cultured. I was not aware that steak was a traditional South American dish.
• -5? That HAS to be Fahrenheit. Either way, I guess it's better than the -11 of this morning.
• Ok. I like this city.
• Hm. I live in Germany. Weird.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
