My classes look like they're solidifying. I'm taking one on Kurt Vonnegut where the teacher makes up words ("Ironical instead of Ironic") or makes up definitions for german speakers that don't help... or make any sense ("birdshot - it's shot from birds" american: "Isn't it the pellets inside a shotgun shell?" "yes, exactly, shot from birds!" or "you won't find many kurt vonnegut words in the dictionary. Like Doosey- that ones onomonpaeic!") I feel bad for the people in my class who aren't native english speakers, because they have to wade through all that.
Then German politics (Required), Figure drawing, Goethe's Werther, History of German Lit. I'm excited about Werther and figure drawing. Though, theres this old lady in figure drawing who keeps telling me and Janessa that we need to buy better pencils and paper and what not, even though we like our pencils and paper. I don't think she knows we're poor exchange students. Probably hasn't seen the latest value of the USD.
Stayed in all weekend which was nice, mostly we just made pizza and played cards. Looks like its going to become a regular thing. Biss went back to her city, so we asked Kyle to play in our Hearts game which I think is going to be on Tuesday nights. I'm really excited.

Good Morning Trish.
It's 3:55 AM and I have been wide awake since 2:00 AM. I just updated my own blog and took a moment to catch up on yours.
I am glad to hear things are "solid".
I'll give you a snapshot of what's happening in the Barger, Jr. household.
Emma just celebrated her 8th birthday. It was a long week of "birthday" celebrations and I think we are all breathing a little easier now that the birthday light has been removed. She handles the spotlight like a pro. The big deal/present for her is she got her ears pierced and an ipod.
Jake is loving junior kindergarten and his afternoons in "the butterfly room". Half day kindergarten is actually only 2.5 hours longs so the "butterfly room" is where he goes while we are working. Each week he learns about a new "letter person". This week is Mr. Happy Hair.
Bill is busy with work both at home and in the office. We moved up our annual Barger Christmas party to December 1st so there is alot to get done in the next two weeks. He still enjoys making cakes. His next order is 50 marble flavored cupcakes with a jungle theme for a baby shower.
Well my dear...Have a wonderful day. Enjoy.

i miss you, nanna p! <333
