Oh hey, es ist Frühling!

I’m done with my Deutsch Kompakt course! (well, technically) We had our Abschlusstest on Wednesday and the classes are over. However, they are taking us on one last excursion today. We are going to Stuttgart to see the Mercedes Benz museum and a ballet. I’m looking forward to it because the weather has been beautiful lately! It’s exciting that everything is finally starting to turn green and flowers are popping up all over! Yesterday the weather was so nice that I had to go out and walk around town a bit. I bought Eis (ice cream), took a few more pictures, and discovered places in Tübingen that I hadn’t seen before! Wunderschön!

Also this week, I met up with several Germans that want to practice their English and help me with German. All of them are incredibly nice and very interesting. One of the girls, Monica, lives across the hall from me and invited me to watch German television in her Zimmer last night! So cool! That’s not all; Monica and I are going skating in Stuttgart TOMORROW!!! Skating has been on my mind quite a bit lately and I was getting a little homesick because of it. Speaking of skating, it’s ice show weekend back home! I won’t get to see the show until I get home in August, but you can bet I’m looking forward to watching the tape! This is the first ice show that I have not been in or watched in 12 years!!! For any skaters reading this: Have a FANTASTISCH show, SK8 GR8, und VIEL GLÜCK!!!
