Prüfungen sind vorbei... Urlaub beginnt!

Hallo alle!

This past week is all a big blur to me. Let's see what I can remember...
Friday night I met up with Kifah and Brittany. We wanted to go to a jazz club, but there wasn't any music playing that night so instead we went to Sudhaus. Sudhaus is a really old, classic German restaurant/pub in the old part of Marburg (Oberstadt). We were just sitting in our booth, minding our own business when a group of drunk assholes threw a lighted match at us. Brittany got up and walked over to them, struggling to scold them in German. If it were me, I would've given up and started yelling in English. I give her props for trying!

Afterwards we went to Unixbar, a nightclub also in Oberstadt. We had a few drinks and danced a lot. It was fun! I was tired and sweaty (ew) by 1:30, so Brittany and I caught a cab back to our dorm. I don't know what I did, but I didn't go to bed until 4 that morning. It's so easy to waste time online.

Saturday Jean and I walked around Oberstadt and I finally was able to go in stores and take my time looking around! It's usually too late by the time I'm normally in Oberstadt, all the stores close by 4 or 5pm. I was able to get a few souviners for friends and family. Yay me!

Sunday.... I was really lazy Sunday. My stomach was bothering me so I laid around for most of the day. Later I met up with my friend Kumiko at the Aquamar, an indoor waterpark here in Marburg. It was so awesome! There was a body slide, a lazy river but without tubs and the jets were super strong. It was nice just being able to be pushed around in a big circle by super strong jets. I think we did that for atleast half an hour. Then we went into a deeper pool, where there's a rock wall sticking out of the water! It's so cool. You climb as high as you can, then drop in the water. They had some diving boards there, too.

The receptionist at the front desk was a beyotch, though! She overcharged me and I didn't bring it to her attention until we were leaving. She said she needed my ticket and since the machine already took it, it was too late. I knew she remembered my face, because there weren't that many people there that night. She was really rude. I understood everything she was saying, but I didn't know if she completely understood my reasonings so I asked her if she spoke English. She responded "nein" and started giggling. Come on, EVERYONE here is taught a bit of English in some point of their lives. She won that time....

I had my written test on Friday and it went really well. Today was my spoken test and it also went well, though I scored higher on the writing than on the spoken which surprised me. Either way, I passed and I'm now moving on to the next level when I get back from my break next week.

Speaking of break... I'm going to Ireland tomorrow! I'm superrrrr excited! I'll be staying at Neptune's Hostel in Killarney from Wed-Mon. with my friends Brittany and Eric from UWSP. I'm not sure if I'll be online at all... haven't decided if I'm taking my laptop yet. The hostel has free wifi, but I don't think I will. I'm looking forward to all of the awesome photo opps. I'll have lots to talk about when I get back!

Tschüss!
