My friend Nicki, who's been studying in Heidelberg this year, came in today to visit Tuebingen and go to the Halloween Party the international students threw. Julia and I met Nicki at the Hbf and went back to my place to make dinner. We made our own little concoction of lasagna, which actually turned out quite good, and socialized with my roommates. My friend, Veronika, from Stuttgart also came into town for the party. Veronika is a German student who studied abroad at ECU last school year. The four of us got ready for Halloween at my place and went up to Fichtenweg for the party. I have never seen so many interesting costumes in my life! A group of the guys even went as the Smurfs. I wore a Dirndel and went as a German, Veronika was a Pirate, Julia was a Cool Cat and Nicki was a Power Puff Girl. It was a pretty awesome night, even if I did have to babysit Julia for about 2 hours and put her to bed lol :).
Day 62
Took it easy today after last nights shinanigans. Julia and I went went to our favorite cafe (after seeing Nicki off at the Hbf) and went for a walk down the Neckar River. I took lots of pictures of the beauty that is Tuebingen in Fall. It is absolutely beautiful with all the Fall colors and the leaves on the ground. The weather is also getting chilly (I love it!) and I really hope it snows soon. My roommate told me that every year there it a Chocolate Market for a whole week here in Tubingen in November! I can't wait! and the Weihnachtenfest (Christmas Fest) in Stuttgart begins November 25th! What an exciting month ahead!
Day 63
Had the first meeting of my Aufbaukurs class today. This is the grammar class I'm taking that is 3 hours a day and 3 days a week. It was very long and extremely boring, especially because it is the same exact material that was covered in the Start Kurs I took in September. So, I asked my teacher if I could be placed in a higher and more challenging class. I will find out tomorrow or Wednesday. I really hope I can change because I'm not being challenged at all and I've already been through the book and it is virtually all the same subjects as the Start Kurs so I won't learn anything if I stay in this class. Anyhow, enjoy this pictures of this beautiful city :).
