Georgia Winter

So this is a pic I took today. As you can see, spring has arrived and it's amazing the difference a lot of green can make. Germany seems like a completely different country than what it did in the winter. People shed their many layers and get out an enjoy the sun, so, naturally, I followed suit and put my shorts on an went for a ride on Peggy (my bike).

I can't say that winter has completely gone away though. Before today, we had a few days of rain and near freezing temperatures. To be honest, I really enjoyed the cold but that's because I'm not right in the head according to some of my friends. I think it just reminded me of the cold, rainy winters back home. Oh well, moving on.

So I'm sure you're all wondering what Ol' Peggy looks like.
I can't say she's the prettiest thing but she does her job well. I've actually started a small collection of bikes that I've found on the side of the road and I've pretty much turned my room into a workshop. I'm up to 3 so far. I'm hoping to repair them but that kind of depends on the cost. They aren't in bad shape but they don't exactly have wheels. I plan on using these as my therapy to have something to work on. Maybe by the end of the semester I can sell them and make a small profit.

We've been having a lot of fun this past week. Friday was the first official use of Unterwegs for an event. We had a guy's night of poker with about 10 people total. I did a pretty good job of losing, but it wasn't for money so it's ok. Afterwards, some of our German friends invited us to Tacky Party but by the time we got there, the police had shown up and closed it down because it was too loud. We ended up just hanging out at the student pub near the dorms. Saturday was a dreary day but ended well. We had made friends with this girl who was having a birthday party, so we went to that and were able to meet a bunch of other students. We even ran into some students from Mexico who had been to the Globalscope there. Crazy how small the world is sometimes.

Not exactly sure what the week has in store but I'm sure it'll be interesting. I'm doing my best to not be bored while I'm here which really isn't all that hard. Classes start next week and we'll be having a lot more events with Unterwegs in the coming weeks.

That's all for now.
