Back to School...

I finally decided to force myself to sign up for German classes last week. I have been trying to find a good class since I got to Germany in September and I finally found a good school. Classes started this week at Steinke-Institut in Bonn. This is a very intense class, meeting 5 days a week (Monday - Friday) 9am-12:15. I've already learned a lot and am having a lot of fun. I definitely feel like I'm back in college. I have homework every night and an exam schedule. My class is made up of people from all over the world. There is a girl from Malaysia, a girl from China, a guy from Israel, a guy from Uzbekistan, a woman from Hungry, and a woman from California. Since we all speak different languages, class is taught only in German. This is definitely helping/forcing me learn fast.

Between class and babysitting, time is really flying by this week. Brian gets home tonight from Northern Germany. His plant visit went well and things are really coming together for him at work. The Bonn plant and office are on shut down from December 19 - January 4 so Brian will have more time off than anticipated for Christmas. We are starting to plan a trip to Sweden before Marie and Nick arrive on Christmas. Only 21 more days!
