Day 15

It does not feel like two weeks has past!

Let's see, wednesday was pretty boring, just the usual grammar lessons and homework.

Yesterday, though, we did something completely different. We went to the concentration camp, Struthof right on the border of Germany, in France. It was very emotional and moving to walk around the concentration camp and read about the horrors that occurred right where we were standing. They have very graphic pictures and descriptions. The museums were very descriptive and informative, probably one of my favorite things we have done so far, because of the significance to Germany, and that you really can't get the exact same feeling anywhere else in the world. After Struthof, we went to Strasbourg, France, where my friend Margaux will be studying next semester. We only had two hours in the city, but we were still able to climb ten floors of a spiral staircase to get to the top of a church and look at the whole city and surrounding area. Strasbourg was a lot like Heidelberg. I was exhausted after the 12 hour trip, but we still had homework to finish. I finally got home around 10 pm and slept very well.

That is until I had to get up again today at 7:15. I really don't like 8:30 class, when we get to pick our classes at the university, I am not picking anything before 10am. Today was pretty tame as well. I had class this morning then did a group project. Then I FINALLY did my laundry with my friend Rachael! Yay, I will have tons of clean clothes again! Haha, I just got out of the shower and am waiting for my friends Liv and Greg to get here so we can go to Everett's apartment for a potluck.

This is a very short update even though I felt like I have done a lot in the last few days. Oh well, I figure you guys need a break from my usually long-winded updates.
