So last night was a good time. It was Kneipenmontag with WILMA and pretty much everyone in the orientation course was there. The music was bad for most of the time but it got better towards the end. Apparently people dance differently in Europe than they do in America cause we were getting quite a bit of attention, then we noticed that other people were starting to mimic us. It was pretty funny.

Okay so maybe I wasn't ready for this afterall... This morning I got up around 7:30, got ready, ate breakfast, and checked out of my room.
