So I am here in Marburg for my first night in a Jugendherberge (youth hostel). The hostel even has its own friendly cat. There was many frustrations today--such as the plane being an hour late and me missing my train not once, but twice. What a pain in the rump. Then as soon as I get here, it starts raining. To top it off these euro keyboards suck! there all switched around and I am having trouble retraining the hands and brain. Oh, and it turns out not as many people speak english in the lab as was thought, so I have some serious language requirements to fill. Upon getting to Marburg, I had about 2 hours of paper work, and have about 5 more hours to do tomorrow. Germans love paper work is my new theory.
But not all is bad, as I am still having the time of my life, just cause everything is new and fresh and Minnesota is left far behind.
A strange and funny thing about this place is they love playing country music and John Denver came along people were actually singing along at the youth hostel. Yeah, I don't know why either but that is just the way it is.
Tomorrow upon completing said paper work I leave for Prag, which everyone tells me it is beautiful and fun to boot. There is a castlz made of bones there and concentration camp I think I might visit. Lively aren´t I?
Report more when something interesting happens--as it is, im so tired Im two seconds away from crashing, plus internet time is in 5 min from done. tschus
