A little time....

Just sitting in an internet cafe for a bit before I head over to my first fitness class at the Köln University. Looking to make a few new friends in the area, I just hope I can find the place tonight! Not much today, went to class as usual, had a german meatloaf with a fried egg on top and hash browns at the student cafeteria and did a little homework in Woyton Cafe. I tried a bannana chocolate yougurt smoothie today mixed with ice... quite disgusting, so I will stick to my black coffee when I go back next time.

Just a few observations and random thoughts... everyone seems to smoke, and as soon as someone stops another lights up another. It is also getting darker much earlier, which is also kind of a bummer, it would be nice to sit out in the park longer to do my homework.....looking at my lonely planet book on Italy I am starting to wonder how I am going to pull of back packing alone for a few days given that I don´t speak Italian...I miss my cds at home every time I hear a store playing something I have.... I wish I could get online anytime I want.....Reisdorf Kölsch is the best beer....Bannana Weisen is too heavy to even finish....Mango and Pilsner actually tasted pretty good....I am still going back and forth on whether to come back to Germany for an intensive language course.... I am glad it looks like that I will have a job when I get back....I wish the exchange rate was better....I get to move into a larger room tonight with my own kitchen and bathroom...and lastly, I wish Rochester had public transportation like they have here in Köln.
