So German is hard...that much I've learned since classes have started. I am currently taking Goethe's Italienische Reise, Deutsch für Fortgeshrittene, Deutschland Heute, Inter Kultural Kommunikation, München and National Sozialismus and understanding approximately half of that. I am enjoying taking class auf Deutsch though! Or at least attempting too. Most of my classes only meet once a week and nobody in Germany ever has Friday class which is pretty shweet.
On a separate note, I finally got to go hiking in the Alps these past couple of weekends! And the pictures really don't do it justice. The best part about hiking in the Alps is the beer you get when you reach the Gasthaus at the top of the mountains. Nothing tastes better than that! I'll definitely be making some more trips out there this year.
Yesterday I went to Salzburg in Austria, but was severely disappointed when I didn't see a single piece of salt. I mean come on, I was expecting to get a free bag of salt as soon as I stepped of the train! But anyhoodles it was probably the nicest day I've had since I've been here. After getting separated from our group, me and a friend wandered around Salzburg and settled on sitting on the riverbank with some Jäger and a pipe...not a bad way to spend the evening there!

Shoko Reis
Shoko Reis - the name of the weird off-brand German cereal that is currently next to me. Grocery shopping in a foreign country is probably one of the hardest things ever. I've already racked up three bottles of nasty salad dressing in my fridge. However I did find Sriracha, which can salvage any poorly cooked meal.
We are in our final week of orientation here at JYM. This means that sadly, my five and a half month summer is in its final stages...waaaaaaah. I'm not even sure I know how to study anymore. Nothing like taking five classes taught in German to ease you back into school!
On a happier note, here are some pictures from my adventures this weekend!
We went to the Munich Zoo!
