tuesday as it was in Heidelberg...plus pictures!


I opened the door for the classic England picture..and the phone started ringing! I didn't quite know what to do with myself haha


The room in Christ Church where Harry Potter was filmed!









My roommates for next year in Dresden...I know its pathetic...but we couldn't help ourselves!
Well, I'm keeping my promise so far! Today was a good day...nothing spectacular...but then after I say that I realize how truely spectacular each day really is. Tuesdays drag themselves out with only 3 classes but all with about an hour in between...keeping me from returning back to the house until about 7:30 at night. We went on an excursion to Frankfurt today in my english class to the Goethe House. Johann Goethe was a famous German author from the romantic period, and so after reading his book 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' we got to go see where he grew up. Me and my class of 10 students rode on a mini-charter bus (new experience!) an hour there and back which we took advantage of as nap time before out humanities class. I had to give a presentation on Franz Schubert in Humanities today. All I was doing was reading a few pages off of wikipedia, but I still got nervous! Silly nerves, thanks for those mom.
After class me, Austin, Dex, and Royce snuck away from our usual dinner and went out to eat at Coyote Cafe, a cute little american-ish type place (that has guacamole!!!). It was fun to just hang out with a few other people which doesn't happen very often for meals. For some reason tonight my appetite was quadrupled. My meal consisted of: my chicken fingers and french fries, the boys guacamole and chips, 1/4 of austins sandwhich, and then popcorn back up at the house. My new motto--when in Europe...eat lots of food and not feel guilty. I think I've mastered this one. Once we made it allll the way back to the house (which did make me feel better walking uphill about eating so much) we had our Tuesday night worship time which then broke up into our girls group. We didn't have any homework for tomorrow, only studying for our German test on Thursday. So, seeing as we didn't actually have to learn anything tonight...some friends and I hung out while I tried to teach them the 27 EU states in German (yes all the names are spelled differently...lucky us).

Now, I'm about to go to bed. I think tomorrow we might go up to Philosophersweg just to do something fun (and to procrastinate our german studying)! Oh yeah, and I decided to go to Rome this weekend! yay! Well, goodnight!

I like your new motto about eating in Europe. We did the same thing while we were over there. Just enjoy it :) don't even think twice!
I hope you enjoyed Oxford. Brianna and I thought about you a lot last weekend. Hope you're still having a blast!
