Well the weather here has been... fun. The first few days were a bit cold with snow on the ground. Then there was a long time where it was overcast and rained all the time. It got rid of the snow, but still was not the most fun. Most of last week was really nice. The sun was shining, and there was even a day where i took my coat off for a while, then on friday night it decided to snow all night. This is the result.

While the sun was shining it made our classroom really bipolar. There was a storm one night and it blew the windows in our classroom open and tore the some of the blinds down. The part where its sunny is beyond hot, and everyone else usually still wears jackets. Mainly in our class it has been Nicole and I sitting right in the sun. We have a perfect little system down. Its nice for while, then we start complaining to each other and making jokes about it being so hot. Then we get our half hour class break and repeat. The past few days everyone has been really tired and falling asleep, or at least not fully focused. But I now know I can't draw ISU's campus very well in my work book, or explain it to Nicole well.

After our culture class on Friday, I went to the store with Justin. We went to Edeka, a store hidden in an alley almost. Got some cheap pizza, 3 for 2,50 Euros, and came back. ---> That is me feeling like a hobo. I only have one plate and Justin was using it, so I ate out of a pan, using my spatula to cut it.

Later on Friday, we went to Südhaus, one of the favorites, if not the favorite, for some of us. We packed around 12 people or so into this table under a stairwell, and were there till about 3.30. Jonathan, Steve, Desa, Robyn, and I went to Döner, well three of them did, then decided to call it a night. After negotiating some we got a taxi back to the dorf. Just when we were going to go to our rooms Steve goes, "Wanna hang out more?" I ended up in Jon's room till almost 8 with him, Steve, and Robyn. Slept two hours, then we went and started Saturday.

According to Joe Canada, it is now mustache March, and he is super happy for it. Among the returners there is one other Joe. We call him Joe Omaha, or Jomaha. Joe Canada spent a long time convincing as many people as possible to not shave mustaches. Jomaha said he might do it, and three hours later was clean shaven. For the past few days when those two are together, its hours of jokes, each one new and more creative than the last. Wow, look at that guy, he's cool, probably because of his mustache. The best was we met a guy who helped us at the beginning get settled. He walks in with a fantastic mustache. Jomaha looks and sighs and hangs his head as Joe C points to the "Sign from God".

Here is Robyn, Steph, and Desa, trying to rock mustaches.
