but for now we are young

I feel like I have barely had time to breath since I left the U.S. A nice thing about Germany though is that life is seemingly much slower and relaxed than the east coast. I've been incredibly busy since I have a arrived here so I haven't been able to fully enjoy the laid back atmosphere, but I am sure that the time will come. On Tuesday, which I guess was yesterday, I moved into my room here and met my roommate who is from China. I had met some people earlier in the day while I was taking tests and finding out all I need to know about the course and we managed to meet up later in the night and go out. It's great to have a group of friends here and everyone is wicked enthusiastic to explore Germany and possibly some other countries as well. Eurotrip. Being the cyclist that I am, I have already found myself a nice 50 euro "road bike" and plan on going for some good rides once I am more settled in here. Today we had class for the first time and it went as well as a 4.5 hour class that you go to every day could go. We get out of class at one which is really nice because it doesn't take up your whole day. After class we all went out for drinks and then bought food to cook for dinner. Hopefully I will get better at cooking this summer and not have any embarrassing encounters with smoke alarms next year. Tonight was pretty chill; I don't think I'm quite used to the time difference yet, so it was nice to stay in. Now it's almost 11, and I am definitely ready for bed. Guten Nacht.
