Up the creek without a Schläger

2/27/12 Today! The first day of classes! There is a bus strike!!!! Which in turn means that there werent any busses running in the entire city!!! And guess who lives about a 20 min bus ride north of where my classes are? Thats right this guy. So we had to get a taxi which is harder to get when everyone and their Hunden (Dogs) was calling for a taxi that morning so getting one wasnt impossible, but it wasnt easy ill tell you that. And once I was done with classes normally we would explore the city more and have adventures since we had an easy way home, but this time around there wasnt an easy way home. It was either hard on the wallet or the legs, and my friends and I thought we should hike it home. And it was a very interesting and tiring walk,alllllll 45 minutes of me. But i had my livestrong bracelet on, so i figured if Lance can defeat cancer twice I can walk as far as it takes, and in the end it wasnt all to bad. Gave me a sence of accomplishment, good exercise, and a darn tootin good story. But once i got back i was bed ridden for the day and played all the solitaire my heart desired.

I figured since the last post was kind of short id combine today and yesterday into one. Today started earlier then I like at a nice 6am to catch a bus ride from Wehrde to Sued Marburg which is a good 40 min bus ride so that we can register for our visas. And Thank God! Because the bus stike only lasted one day. Now i dont exactly understand what they were so upset about, but whatever it was i guess their simple demands were met being the strike was only a day... Later that day I had the first chance to be able to get some guys together and play some soccer which is what ive been looking forward to do since i got here and since today wasnt the coldest day out we figured we would. We found a field that was very, very muddy which made the game that much more fun, and also while we were playing a Ukrainian man walked by with his dog which ended up chasing the ball around, and later the same man came back and asked to play with us, which was pretty neat if you ask me. But these ol' bones just quite the same as they used to be and lets just say i am as beat as a boxing match. Its gonna be an early night for this temporary German. Till next time folks!
