a busy morning.
this morning started with a meeting with the advisor for the olaf students. he wanted to check up and see what classes we were interested in and such. so i did that at 9 30 with the other 2 oles. they came a bit late because they were getting their visas. i realized i needed to get mine by next monday or else something would happen (it says you only have a week to get it upon arival).
first i had to go get proof of insurance, luckily that only took about 10 minutes. then i went the the Bürgerburo (citizens office) and applied and got my visa! i had to get this all done by noon too, because the office closes then. luckily i was able to so i dont need to go back.
along with the visa, i got a cupon book worth supposedly 150€. exciting.
visaon the way home i stoped at the grocery store again. third day in a row. i just cant carry much so i have to go back and forth. but i got potatoes and eggs and pork, which was cheap! horray! i can eat meat again! (paderborn meat was really pricy).
after a lunch of grilled cheese i went for a bike, this time too the hills. i just turned whenever i felt like it (usually uphill) and just kept going. i figure the best way to find out where you are is to go get lost and find your way home. but since i live on basically a peninsula it was pretty hard to get lost. especially cause i got high enough where i could see nearly everything between me and the alps on the other side of the lake. someday when it is not hazy ill have to go back up there, the view would be spectacular.
hazy view from the high point of my ride. that is the lake down yonder...obvisoulyafter getting home i made some dinner, pork and potatoes with sauce that looked good but i screwed up in that it had almost no flavor. after dinner a taiwan exchange kid taught me how to play chess. its about time i learned. so now since there is a chess game here i will play often i think...
tomorrow i go to frankfurt...to pick up ingrid!
