A whole week in one post.

September 12
This was our big day in Switzerland. Jake and Spencer went out skydiving and I think Anika and Laura did too. The rest of us took a bus to a train that brought us up into the mountains a bit and then we hiked. I took a ton of pictures. For most of the way, the hike was a wide paved path through a valley between two mountains. Basejumpers would jump off of one of the cliffs and you could always hear their parachutes opening up.
After a couple hours, the group split into two and half of us went back. I went on ahead for another couple hours. I'm grad I did because then I got to get up real close to the second waterfall. The hiking started to get a little tougher after the waterfall. The path was now dirt and steadily uphill. We still had a long ways to walk back so 4 of us turned back. Only Jesse, Mickey, and Paul kept going. They eventually got all the way up to a glacier.
I think it was on their way back from the glacier that they crossed over one of the little bridges over the river. Paul was still on the bridge when they all heard a cracking noise. Part of the glacier must have cracked and let a bunch of water out because it flooded the river and swept away the bridge that they had just crossed.
It was about an hour and a half walk down the mountain back to the train station. We were pretty hungry but the prices in Switzerland are horrible. I eventually paid for two cheeseburgers at McDonalds for about $5.
When we finally got back to our hotel, Jake and Spencer were back from their skydiving. We hung out at the hotel for a while until Mickey, Jesse, and Paul got back. They really were starving because it was about 10 o'clock by then. We found them some food and went to sleep.

We were all exhausted after yesterday's hike so we slept in some and got ready for our 6.5 hour train ride back to Schwaebisch Hall. We picked up some Ok brand energy drinks for the ride. Our route back was really confusing and we had to take the S bahn at one point. That was a really bumpy and noisy ride.
We got back to Schwaebisch Hall just in time for the 7:00 bells. We had a little time to do some homework and recuperate and then get ready for our last full week of classes.

September 14
Second to last Monday of German class.

Tuesday... nothing.

September 16
Not too much happened today, it was standard weekday. Me and Jesse watched two episodes of the Colony together.

September 17
My class had another test today. I think it could have gone better, but we're not graded by bethel according to these tests. I don't know how we're going to be graded though, or if its taken pass/fail. Since it's Thursday, we went to the grocery store for lunch and they had Hawaiian pizza, which was the best one yet. This is probably the last day for pizza at the grocery store because we will be leaving early next Thursday.

The weekend is finally here. I was so tired that I took a 3 hour nap right after class. I made some brats for dinner and relaxed in my room until about 8:00 where we went to check out the party at the Goethe Pub. We played a little foosball and some cards, but then everybody was leaving so we left too. We walked around for a little while and considered going out to some discothek, but we didn't know where it was or where to find a taxi. Kelsey and Anna went back to go to sleep.
We ran into some Brazilian guys that we knew from the Goethe Institut who were going to the discothek outside of town. They convinced us to go and we jumped in some taxis and went. We had a great time dancing at the disco until about 3 in the morning and then we left. One of the girls we came with was outside and still very drunk so we took her back to her place. She kept on talking to us but she switched between German, Spanish, and English so none of us could understand more than 2/3 of what she was saying. I think she tried to use a fake ID to get into the club and they called the police. Anyway, she was real thankful that we helped her get back to her place.
