a tall personality

This week we had to wake ourselves up early every single morgen! We had super early deutsch class monday and wednesday, but we got to bring food and have a huge breakfast (reminiscent of the old tuesdays in french class)! This is another topic all together, but this week I finally worked up the courage to try milchreis. It is like lumpy...pudding stuff. I was a skeptic at first, but now I'm mourning over it not existing to my knowledge in the states. I can't bring it home either because it has to be refridgerated! But, if any of you are ever over here, I reccomend it. Thursday we played Frisbee in the freezing cold Prater. We are all so out of shape, the game lasted less than an hour and we spent much of the time laughing at ourselves. Can't complain though. One of these pictures is a picture of me going to church carrying mushroom soup. Chels and I wanted to make Green bean casserole but they have no canned mushroom soup here so we made some real stu ff and just added some...

Alright, things have changed and I took a picture of it! I SHOULD take more, but my camera has been out of batteries. I think I sent an email out about what I've been up to the past week. Doesn't sound quite as exciting as Annie's adventures. This week I think I'll be doing a lot of homework (which isn't so bad really since it's the ONLY week of this whole semester I can say that about. It's snowy here and it is cold but beautiful, especially out where I live. Last night for FHE we were all gathered at the out-reach center at the church, that's what the second picture is of- just another party. Anway Over and out.

This is the Duomo in Florence, the whole giant church is made out of different colored marble, amazing. Especially on days with blue sky instead of monsoon sky!
