Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

28 Mai - Epiphany

So, I realized over the past few days why I've been feeling more out of whack than I should be... never mind being in a foreign country and not speaking the language and all that... no... it's that my life and my days are usually jam packed with activities.  Monday: lacrosse, Tuesday: class, Wednesday: dancing, Thursday: climbing, etc.  I have never been one to sit around and watch stupid sitcoms like Dexter.  I mean, sure we bike all over, I've been running and all that, but it's my regularly scheduled activities that keep me from going out of my mind.  Did someone say OCD/ ADD?   Sure, whatever... but in addition to that, my brain craves stimuli and I have been sitting in this room with  my computer on my lap far too much lately.

So today, I put my computer to work and researched clubs, classes, and activities that would fit my interests and Skylar's.  Not only will it get us out and doing stuff, but also meeting more people.  Of course all the sites were in German and google can only translate straight text, not menus, javascripts, flash, or any other embedded languages, but I got the gist of things.  From what I can gather, Heilbronn doesn't have a whole heck of a lot, but at least the trains can take us to bigger more happening places.  

Unfortunately, I didn't get much done in the way of research for work today, but that's ok; I need time to process yesterday's information anyway.  Next week all the students and faculty are on break, so it will be pretty quiet in the office and I'll have Skylar in tow, but I'll get it done.

Went to the grocery store with Skylar for backup and stocked up on milk and stuff to get us through the weekend because I figured I wouldn't get a chance on Friday or Saturday.  Then I made a delicious asparagus and mushroom fritatta... mmm, mmm, mmm.
