Man, it's hard to believe another week has gone by. Time is so fast here! I didn't do as much because I got sick (along with everyone else I hang out with, because we all spend so much time together...), but here is a quick rundown of this week (note - I have class from 8:30-1 every day and then usually nap, buy groceries, or do homework in the afternoons, so this is mostly about my evenings):

Sunday: Saw Fame (auf Deutsch!) with my roommate. We decided Sunday movies are fun because it's a relaxing way to spend the afternoon, there's nothing else to do because everything else is closed, and we hear more German than if we just hung out at home all day.
Weekdays - class from 8:30-1; pretty much all I'll talk about here is
Monday: nothing too much; stayed in and watched Charlie Bartlett with Pat, Monica, and Courtney after I made dinner for everyone. They'd never seen it before, but they liked it, so yay. This was the day everyone got sick, pretty much.
Tuesday: went bowling! German bowling alleys are so much nicer than American ones. After that we went to the Irish Pub again and Marcel taught me how to play darts.
Wednesday: didn't do very much - just went out for dinner and came home, because everyone was sick and tired. Dinner was delicious though; I had curried chicken with pineapple and rice. I'd like to find a German restaurant around here someday though...
Thursday: Went to the history museum in Bonn after class. It's really really huge and covers German history from WWII-present. I think it would have been more interesting if I knew more German, because pretty much everything involved only reading. It was cool though. Lucia (from Spain) made us Spanish food for dinner.
Friday: After school I went with Courtney and Kevin to this cute little cafe down the street from my house that we have been meaning to visit for a long time. Its sandwiches are quite delicious and I will definitely be going back. It was Pat and Mark's last night in Bad Godesberg (since they were only doing the 2-week program) so we had a party at home and then met up with other people from Goethe in Bonn around midnight. I'm going to miss Mark a lot because we always sit together in class and make fun of each other, but now that won't happen anymore :(
Today (Saturday): Woke up around 10, made some pancakes, then a bunch of us went with Pat to Bonn to say goodbye and then go shopping. Shopped til we got tired and then came back home, where I have been uploading pictures to Facebook and talking to my parents on Skype. I don't think there's much of a plan for tonight, but tomorrow I might go to a hockey game in Cologne.
