A new month

September 1
I had the great pleasure of getting up at 700 this morning. Breakfast only goes from 700 until 800 and classes begin at 815 so I'll be on an early schedule. It's a lot different than sleeping from 3 AM until 11 AM like I was usually doing in the summer.
Breakfast was exactly the same as every other breakfast so far. That might get old, but for now it's still good. All of the students met up in this chapel room and they called out our names for our classes. My teacher is Jochen Gaile. He's a little strange but that way he keeps my interest.
Class goes from 815 to 1245 with a 30 minute break and a 15 minute break. In our first class we learned all of our classmate's names and where they came from. At the beginning of the class I was the only person from an English speaking country, but a guy from Ireland came in late. There are two people from Japan, two from The United Arab Emirates, one from China, two from Spain, one from France, one from Moldova, one from Thailand, and one from Ireland. The class work wasn't so hard today but I think it will be harder tomorrow.
I went back to my room after class and ate some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. We relaxed until there was a tour of the city. We started going with the tour but we had already explored so much of the city that it wasn't really interesting. Jesse and I tried to find the Aldi store in town and eventually found it. It's a bit out of the way but everything there is really cheap. One interesting thing is that at the grocery stores you have to pay for your own bag. At Aldi's in MN they don't give you a bag so I was expecting that, but the main supermarket was the same way.
We took the long hike back to our room and cooked up some bratwurst for dinner. I finished my book, and started the long process of blogging about the last few days. I also put up a couple hundred pictures, which still aren't done uploading now. Now I'm going to do my German homework and go to bed.
