Flying fish spend much of their time in the air
When I claimed I would take to blogging like a fish to water, I of course meant a flying fish.
I think it's been about two months since my last post, which is a good long while. In fact, I forgot how to log in to this account in the meantime, having forgotten both the password I used and in fact my username, as well. As a result, the other TLWG's may have received some emails from Google about account help, or something like that, for which I apologize.
But finally, I blog again. After all, you can take the blogger out of a blog, but you can't take the blog out of a blogger.
Things are going really well here in Tübingen. I´m something like a month into classes now, and I think they´re going pretty well. I can understand most of what´s said, and haven´t found the work too overwhelming. But I haven´t had any sort of test yet, so we´ll see how that goes. I have my first tomorrow, on phase equilibrium and phase changes.
My living situation is really fantastic. I´m living with 7 Germans, which is great, because I can speak German when I´m home too, and not just when I´m in class, like I would in the states. I think my German is coming along, if slowly, and I´m optimistic that I will achieve real fluency by the end my year here.
I´ve started going to a Methodist church near where I live. I really miss Reba Place and the community at Northwestern, but I can see myself attending this church for the year. The people are pretty friendly, at least after the service once they´ve had their coffee, and the service is nice, if not quite as, erm, exciting as a Reba Place service.
In other news, I switched my keyboard into German mode. Now the y and z are switched, and the punctuation is totally mixed up. But on the bright side, I can now type Umlaute with ease. üöäüöäüöäüöäüöäüöä. I typed that in about two seconds. I say this only so that you appreciate the great difficulty with which I write this blog. Every piece of punctuation represents about five seconds of angrily pushing buttons at random on the right side of my keyboard.
OK, I´ve got to go eat something and then get back to studying. I might write something again in January sometime, if I get around to it. Til then!

Oh David, Chemistry is for losers. And yes, Reba is not for the fainthearted.
I have similar problems on Japanese keyboards.
Not that you'll ever read this. :-)
hahaha that was amazing. Ahhh if only we could convince you to post more often... maybe I will email you as a response... or I guess we could bring it up the next time we chat on skype.
Also, I like how the night before your first test you log into blogger for the first time in months. That's some fine procrastinating.
:) dang i miss ALL ya'll.
yeah and david will probably never read this to know that i read his blog. and that makes my heart sad.
i can't wait till you're all back, and dave makes his FLYING APPEARANCE in february to surprise all the freshmen. :)
COME BACK SOON YOU WHITE MEN.
