Reading (For Dummies)

There's A Doin's A Transpirin'

Uh

Okay, Germans are officially weird. I went down to the International Office to get my paperwork so I can get a job. On my way back, I heard the thump-thump-thump of techno (a musical style at which the Germans excel). I wandered over to the Mensa to see what was up.

Bummer

Whee

It was some kind of advertising scheme, in which they (obviously) put snow out -- in front of the main student cafeteria. Students had to compete going down the artificial slope, doing tricks. In the third photo, the skier successfully executes a 360 manuever. I'm impressed with my camera's ability to capture fast action. I thought the lens would be too slow.

I have discovered that I have a lot more paperwork to fill out in order to get a job. Kind of annoying, seeing as how the jobs only pay $6.25 an hour. But they're making an exception for me and allowing me to work 12 hours a week thru February. At least I'll be able to eat now, and not worry about my money supply being whisked away to never-never-land.

'I met up with the usual peeps for Wednesday Open House, a big gathering of all the CL students and professors.

This weekend promises fun as Micha and Kathya (wow, I actually know a real Kathya from Russia now; take that Kat Goldberg from New Jersey) are planning a vodka party. I'm not really sure what all a vodka party entails, but I'm told that there will be vodka there, that we're all going to be completely drunk, and that there are going to be Russian jokes. I can't get enough Russian jokes these days, Micha is hilarious.
