Thursday 11th September Got knocked off this morning. No not by any of the gorgeous women in this town but by a f*cking transit driver at the lights. I'd just left Jan's with details of places to visit in Denmark and was crawling up to the lights, when this moron ran straight into the back of me. Once the bike started to go over there was no way I could hold it so down it and I went. White (actually it was yellow) man van got out of his transit and muttered something in Danish, probably the Danish for “... sorry mate, didn't see you...” or something similar from the international transit driver's phrase book. And how could the f*cking myopic idiot not have seen me? The bike is bright orange, wider than his transit with ... read more

I don't have as much time now to write these, but I still need to tell you what I did yesterday!!! I went to see gerd and we went to the heather and it was really nice out, and it was pretty even though he said that in other years it was more purple and we got to see the Schnucken! I have some pictures of them too. We couldn't find the tame ones though so i didn't get to pet any. and then we went to a restaurant and i ate a schnuckie. and it was a good, but long day! then i went to my german course this morning and i tried 3 different ones but decided the first was the best and then i moved in and went shopping with mirjam and stuff ... read more

Hmm... normal morning, running, internet, blah blah blah. I ate in the mensa again and they had a very nice salad for only 2 Euros. Oh yeah I went inside the Gustav-Radbruch-Haus and tried to figure out about moving in but wasn't very successful. Then I went to Planten un Blomen again, and I took some pictures :) ...didn't see any red squirrels though, but when I do, hopefully I will have my camera! Planten un Blomen is such a pretty park! I also went to some carnival on the Alster and that was cool to look at -- more pictures! ;) Then I went to JAM and that was fun! We sang, and played some games. I learned that Musical Chairs is called Reisen nach Jerusalem (travel to jerusalem). Then someone gave the message and ... read more

There's never much to do in the mornings during the week because all of my friends work & whatnot... So I stayed in bed a long time.... til like 10 AM even though I slept good... Then I went to the computer lab around 11 AM and I got to talk to my mom on the internet! =) I also looked up the way to get to Gerd's house with the bus. Then I went running around the Alster again... I don't think I can run around the whole thing because I found an end to the path I was running on. Well it didn't really end but it looked like it went onto some street and I was afraid I would get lost. Next time... if there is a next time (because maybe I'll try ... read more

Another nice day! (Weather wise & also in the meaning that it was enjoyable). I woke up and had some kind of sandwich from a cafe for breakfast. (I had a sandwich because I knew I was going to see Gerd later and we would eat cake, so I wanted to make sure I was getting enough protein). After I ate breakfast I went to the HAW Hamburg library and used the internet. The computer lab that I had used on friday was closed for some reason and then I was really confused because in the library, the first computer that I went on was only for the library catalog, and I could also check my HAW email address, but I couldn't type in URLs or anything. Finally I asked the librarian and figured out that ... read more
