15 down 15ish to go.

i have now been in paderborn for 15 days. and have around 15 more till i get to go south. wahoo! even though its not to bad here. except the weather...i still like the south so much more.
class was not bad today, we are learning useful stuff finally. first time thats happened in quite some time.
bike ride was decent as well. i went out and found the hill i was talking about the other day, and i lied. it is only 2 km long. i dunno why it felt so long before. i did find a 3 km hill today though. all i had to do was take a right at the bottom of the 2 km hill! actually i think i figured out the reason that the hill felt so long was because i had lost my climbing legs. today on the way home, up the hill, all of a sudden i felt really good climbing. not like crap as i had before. i think all the flat stuff, and not having actually done any real climbing since the col du red wing last fall i stumbled across my climbing legs today. finally! the rest of that climb felt so good. it took around 6min 30. at a medium pace. the wind hated me today. i had a headwind going out and the a headwind for most of the way back...that sucked.
then tonight for dinner i decide since i had lots of spƤtzle (noodles) for lunch id go with brats and fries. i made the brats like my new cook book said which was to basically fry them in oil for 10 min. instead of my usual boil. and oh man was it good. i think two of the best brats i have ever had. sooo good. the fries were also quite good. however i only fried a hand full in the oil. the rest i baked. unfourtunately i am sure this dinner is packed full of calories and not all that nutritous. so i cant eat it every night...it was by far the best meal ive made here.

mmm...might look ugly, but sooo good.

i recently figured out why whenever i ate nutella i thought of kinder eggs. the first thing that i noticed is that the N in nutella was brown, the rest orange. and the K in kinder brown, the rest orange. and all-be-darn they are made by the same company! i dont know why i did not notice that before. i wonder if the unhealthiness of nutella is cancelled by the bread?
