more tacos.

well today. the first day of spring brought a new sight to me in the morning, that being the sun. not often do i have the chance to see it so early. however it was still a bit chilly, but thats ok i guess. sun equals warm.
after a fairly normal class i went and talked with the hausmeister (land lord) about when i am leaving. then went for a bike.
i did basically the same loop as yesterday, except backwards, and one village further out. so total time was 1hr 55. but only 3 km more. i went a bit slower. partly because whatever i had for lunch was not sitting well at all. i mean not at all! nearly threw up a couple of times, but eventually that resided and i felt better. also going backwards means that instead of going up mildly steep hills that are around 6% i go up not steep hills that are nice and long. the longest section without any downhill whatsoever is 8.9 km. it may not be steep but still uphill! i figured that since i got to the high point at 28ish km, and there is for sure no more than 3 or 4 km (no lies this time) of downhill between there and paderborn it is a good hill climb. but again not very steep. i lucked out with the wind. a true headwind for only the first 10 minutes of the ride, the valleys blocked it the rest of the time!
got back from riding at 4 30 and then had nothing to do till 8 (eating) so i cleaned my bike really well. i at least wipe it down everyday, but not super clean it like today. did some studying, wrote a letter.
then at 8 the i got the french kid, and the polish kid came over and i made tacos. again. i made them just the other night. i guess the frenchy liked them. it was the first time the pol. had tacos. he enjoyed them. we had a good discussion about the US. they asked me things about it, and i heard what they had to say. really quite interesting. most interesting thing was probably that they said most people in their countries want to move to the US i told them it was not all it was cracked up to be and it amazed them...we also discussed how G.W. is..well...not liked.

on a different note...last night getting back from the grocery store there where a couple of EMS vehicles outside of my dorm. apparently last night when the group i was eating with left the dorm they were carrying out a body. i heard that there was some accident, or body failure. kinda strange, the action was on my floor, just a different wing. i want to know what actually happened but dont think that information will ever be available......
