it arrived...

finally i do have my new macbookpro...
i'm just downloading boot camp in order to install windows xp as an second os... so far this little thing seems quite cool.
the only thing that bothers my is that the internet in the dorm is pretty slow...well REALLY SLOW!!!
other than this exciting new toy, classes started yesterday.
Well, this consumer behavior class wolfgang and i are taking will probably be a smooth one. This College writing and rhetoric class will be pretty easy as well, but pretty time demanding with all those essays and stuff :( the first paper is due on friday. "This I believe" - na hurra.
Today i had my first Psychology class. This teacher is just cool. pretty old, pretty funny. should be an easy-going class.
Tonight i'm gonna have my first evening class - Principles of Marketing. We'll see how that one's like.
Since i'm online now, i'll promise to keep the other side of the ocean up-to-date on what is happening with that German guy in St. Joseph.
Have you ever heard that the name Toby is used for a actual girl ?
take it easy...

just hanging around...

nothing really excited happen yesterday...
I met my suitemate Jason who's a RA as well. Nice guy. Gave me one of his TV right away so i don't get bored. at least something to do. I mean I already read the first chapter in two of my clases. ich euwi.
When I checked my e-mails on yuichi's laptop (I've never seen a Japanese keyboard!!) i was shocked. Instead of sending me an shipping information the apple store told me that there were problems with my credit card. so i called the tall free number, but even 30 minutes in the waiting line didn't really solve the problem. I guess using a German credit card for american student discount just doesn't work. i was pretty pi**ed actually. And decided to just get a regular laptop the next day at best buy.
When I got up this morning i went to the lab to see which comptures are in stock at best buy... none of them would have really fit my needs... so i looked on circuitcity.com and wohoo.. they've got my macbookpro in store and even 300$ off... I i bought it there, took the express shipping , and wait for my package to come on monday! At least i got an order confirmation so far. It's supposed to be shipped today (3pm here right now).
After having lunch with Yuichi and Wolfgang, the two Germans tried to teach a yuichi and zach (another RA) how to play schafkopf. zach knows a similiar card game, so i guess we'll be playing that pretty soon...one important thing is missing though. beer. it's really a dry campus. oh well... wolfgang and i are really pretty old. most of the people living in the dorm are like 19-20...

I realized that we're gonna have a pretty long winter break from dec 14th to jan 14th... so i'm just figuring out on what to do...

it got quite "chilly" today... no more hot and "steamy" weather... i think i gonna go jogging around campus and take some pictures...
Take care

The never ending story

Manchmal wiederholt sich die die Geschichte halt doch...
It"s all just a little history repeating...

Ich gehe - aber ich verschwinde nicht

last days in germany

sooooo... es gibt wieder neue bilder, und zwar von den letzten tagen hier in schwabmünchen.
schon krass - cawl fuddert 2 portionen beim metzgerwirt, dank ottos schallplatten wird auch im august voller inbrunst o du fröhliche gesungen, und die abschiedsfete am freitag war ja jetzt auch nicht grad die jahresversammlung der anonymen alkoholiker :)
