day one.

after a breakfast of "Hoopy Honeys" (supposed to be cheerioish, but more like froot loops) i headed of to the uni for my first class. it is a german grammar class. today was just the introductions and all, so nothing special. however i never took a needed placement test so i am lucky enough to have to take it tomorrow! oh boy! after that class i headed to were i thought my second class was, but i guess it was not a class day today. hmm. oh well. i didnt complain. so at 10:30 i was done. so of course the only thing left to do on this beautiful sunny very warm day was go biking. i called the bike shop guy to see if they were meeting, but today was a rest day for there was a race yesterday. i really need to get in on that action...since they wernt going i took off and rode up that steep hill i talked about going down the other day. it was hard. instead of starting nice and easy the road out of the village is a steep 14% and that lasts for a good km. then it gets a bit easier for about 1.5k then i am pretty sure it kicks back up to 10% for another km before nearing the flatter top. it was hard, ill be quite strong if i do that a few times a week.

after clearing the top i was greeted with a hazy but very nice view of the alps. they are very hard to see in this picture, but are still there. ill get to them one of these days.

the alps are there
then i went down down down, into the valley. then up up and out and back to konstanz. it was a very nice 2 hr 15 min ride. i cramped up pretty bad after the big hill, i think because i did not drink enough the last few days, but eventually the cramps went away and i was fine.
tomorrow i have a test, a sociology class that looks pretty interesting "sociology on the internet" and then the history class which is on the roman republic. and if i dont like a class, doesnt matter, i just find a new one!
