Two weeks...

... since I last wrote and until I leave for the States (well, a little more than two weeks left). It is pretty crazy that I have been here for six months and in a short time I will be back in the States and back at school. I am not really sure how I feel about it, but I am sure that you will find out when I do.

Things are winding down. I am in the midst of my two week study break from work. I had my Finite Elemente Methoden exam on Thursday. I will just have to say that I do not want to talk about it. Yes. It was that bad. I will be ecstatic if I managed to pull off a three on that one. (A three is sort of equivalent to a C in the States. Top is a 1.0.) The hope is that Flugmedizin will go a little better.

I was in München last weekend. It was a lot of fun- driving on the Autobahn at 240 km/h. (You can do the math if you want to know what that is in mph.) And that was just getting there. Photos from our visit to the Olympic Park can be found in the München link. It does not seem like I took any other photos. But most of those were at Biergartens anyway. Funny story: We had just arrived at our hostel and were on our way out again when I saw this guy who sort of looked familiar and was giving me a funny look. Turns out that some of the other Purdue engineers in the country, who are studying at Karlsruhe, were visiting Berlin at the same time that I was, and we were staying in the same hostel. Pretty coincidental.

Next weekend I am going up to Berlin (yes, again), but this time I will be heading out to Potsdam on Saturday and then probably the Zoo on Sunday. I am looking forward to it. And I will be sure to post an absolute ton of pictures. I love Potsdam and Sansouci is one of the most gorgeous parks that I have ever seen.

As well as the München photographs, I have posted the pictures from the Staffelrudern in Hamburg. I have also added to the album called Nature. I took pictures on the way to the Thune (as far as I can tell, think the fish) boathouse am Mittlandkanal, as well as the boathouse and Kanal itself. (More water and boats. Believe it.)
