Day 7 of 330

Today was an awesome day! I headed out early this morning to help Julia set up her bank account and we did some shopping. I have discover the wonder that is the Dönner! A Dönner is basically a pita filled with meat and toppings. The meat is cooked on a rotating "stick" and then it is shaved into thin pieces and the pieces are put in the bread with lettuce and tomatos and whatever else you want. And it is an amazing feat culinary accomplishment!

Then up to the University campus for orientation. At orientation we took a placement test and were interviewed by our professors to test our German comprehension and speaking abilities. After that, all the students just convened outside and started talking about where we were from and how long we had studied German. Then we headed down the hill and hung out at a Bier Garten for like 3 hours and just talked and joked. So of course one thing always leads to another and we ended up at one of the Italien students appartment to cook dinner and listen to music.

It was a really great, long and interesting day. In our little group today there were students from the USA, Brazil, Columbia, Italy, Hungary, and Canada. It was pretty awesome that we ALL had 2 languages in common (English and German) so we had no trouble communicating. I'm excited to see what this year has in store for us and what adventures we will encounter.

Please pray for me! I miss you all!
