So much laughter and song!

I have been in my wonderful Tübingen now for a full 2 weeks and well YES I am still loving it! Surprise?! Nah! I continue to discover something new everyday and my head continues to be filled with knowledge. This past week was intense indeed. Much class and homework and quizzes and this next week will be the same. We have our first real big test this week, Thursday, but I'm determined to do really well. It was also great being at the Uni today because it was the first day all the students were back. It was fun to see everyone reuniting again. 


So, you keep hearing me say I'm getting along great and loving my life, so you may be wondering what I miss about home? Well I sure don't miss America but the people of course, but it's really the music. I don't miss American music I miss the accessibility of it. I can't just pick up my guitar and start jamming or sit for hours singing and writing music with friends on the piano. Laughing at the awful notes that were just played or getting real excited over wonderful harmonies that just happened. Once it's all taken away one realizes how much apart of their life it truly is. In my tutorium we listened to and translated this song and it was stuck in our heads the next few days. We'd go about singing this song but we only knew a few words from it. I miss that ridiculous singing ALL the time and having it happen anywhere and everywhere. There is SO much music to be made when I get back and for that I am completely stoked!


I'm learning other things to occupy my time like hiking through the hills or simply sitting and chatting over coffee. And well, I have lots of homework that always needs finishing. Also, I've been cooking more so that can take a bit of time. :) 


We'll see what new things I can find to do this week and occupy my time with! Sending you all love from Germany!

This is our American group with our tutors. About half of them I have class with. In the background is the former Cistercian Monastery of Bebenhausen founded in around 1183/84.

Here is the song from Tutorium so it can get stuck in your head too!
