holy crap!
it was nice out today. 18 C (64 F) well most of the day. it was also holy crap windy, max gust of 67 km/h (41 mph).
class started at noon today because the teacher had to do something, so i got some studying for the test in this morning. went to class without a jacket. and during the first hour of class it was cloudy and poured for about 10 min. the second hour of class the weather totally changed. it got nice and sunny nearly all the clouds went away too. i was so antsy by the end i pretty much ran back to my room to get out biking. i didnt even bother with leg warmers, shoe covers, long underwear, hat, or warmish gloves. just shorts and a long sleeve jersey (i started out with short/arm warmers but i saw clouds moving in). so i took off, of course faster than i wanted to, i dont know what it is about the warm that makes me want to go fast. but i figured it out and slowed down for the rest of the time. but alas about 10 min after i started it got cloudy, and the wind picked up, luckily not cold, but no sun...so i biked for an hour 40 in the clouds, and what seemed to be a strong head wind. then the last 20 minutes were really really nice. i mean really nice (besides the wind). I easily could have worn only shorts and short sleeve jersey.
it was a lot nicer in person, but this is in the really nice valley to bike in
and this is after that, getting very green...then for dinner i made spätzle and sauce, and i actually succeded this time. and since i had 4 dinners left at that point, i made a lot. i now have just the perfect amount for 3 more dinners.
but making a lot meant i had to eat a lot. i have not been this full for a good month or so. it feels pretty good..
somebody is watching the simpsons down the hall and i want in!

On Sunday, I ran along Jean Duluth Road and heard my first "ooooooat" of a boat coming in. The slough is still covered in snow.
I also did the comparison pricing for groceries. Here are just a few, but overall your groceries are much cheaper than what we pay at Mt. Royal Fine Foods:
loaf of wheat bread 1.78 E (Duluth-$1.99 or 1.66 E)
1000 g flour .48 E (Duluth-2 lbs or 907 g at $1.19 or .99 E)
6 Brats 1.49 E (Duluth-$3.89 or 3.24 E)
6 Eggs .99E (Duluth-62 cents a dozen or .26 E for 6)
6 pack of Becks 3.79 E (Duluth-$7.99 or 6.65 Euros)
