still sunny.

another morning with hoopy honeys and i was off to take my placement test for the german classes. of course since i have not studied or written german for nearly a month it did not go that well. but it does not really matter because i am in the same class i wanted to be. also i am going to take a speak proficency class as well i think.
after the test i went for an hour ride thinking i would not have time later. i did my 6.36km TT again and knocked off over a minute. 9:20 i think part of the reason was there was no one to dodge and instead of taking the bike trail the last 1.5km i stuck to the rd. its the same lenght but a bit smoother. but it felt good so now i have a new thing to beat...
then got home and rushed to get ready for the sociology class. made it there a few minutes late. i think i will for sure stay in that class. looks like it will be interesting. all i have to do is write a 15 page paper at the end. but lucky for me its in english! yes!
since today was the first day all that happens is a lecture on the class itself. no point in teaching yet, some people wont stay in it. so it was done at 12:45 and therefor i got a chance to finally ride with those who i have been trying to hook up with for the last week. but i had to cut it short for i had another class to get too. so i rode an hour out, then back. luckily home with the wind. and i went pretty easy. again got home rushed to class and made it early this time. i found out that this class (the roman republic) is a proseminar which i guess means it is hard. so i wont be taking it. also it is about the politics of rome not the action stuff. ha
then i did my laundry and now i will eat dinner.

i also found a list of all the races this summer in Baden-Würtenburg (the "state" i live in) its quite a long list so hopefully i can get into some. i talked to the shop guy about racing and he said i need a licsense (i cant ever spell that one) to race with the teams and such, but i can race the "hobby class" without one. we will see what i find out.

oh it was supposed to rain today. never did. oh shucks.
