Stick it in the Pot on the Way to Bedlam.

So, Purdue has called a snow recess. Amusing things always happen when I am not around. But, the crew team still has practice, which is completely typical. Maybe they will go out for a run on the golf course like we did last year in the middle of a blizzard (for which they did not close the school).

I have discovered one of my favourite German words. The word is Eintopf which is a stew or soup (an item always served on Thursdays (also known SchniPo Day, because some sort of Schnitzel and Pommes (French (or should I say… Freedom? Oh wait, that was so 2004) Fries) is always served)). If separated into its two parts Ein and Topf and literally translated one gets In and Pot. So, a stew is just something that has been thrown into the pot.

Other than that, Purdue is trying to drive me to Bedlam, and, despite the fact that I do really want to go to London, I do not think that that is the best way to achieve it. Hopefully their scheme to get me kicked out of school and out of Germany (thanks to saying my tuition is due two weeks before the loans are supposed to be disbursed and telling me that I should be tested for Consumption because some random kid wandered around campus for three months with TB.). Luckily I have a wonderful mother who is taking care of all of the mess for me.

My internet connexion is also trying to drive me mental. For periods on and off I cannot get any where online (in my web browser), but my radio stream and my IM, for the most part, work fine. Go figure.

Also, it looks like we might actually get a weekend with little to no rain (and maybe even some sun!), so if the forecast holds, I will be going into the city to get some pictures of the great buildings.
