trip to KC

so we went to Kansas City, Missouri (and probably also Kansas City, Kansas) yesterday...
parked the car right to the convention center, as we thought there should be some sights/shops whatever around. pustekuchen.
such a boring downtown. and it was quite hot. so we went into this one bar asking the waitress where to go in KC. and we eventually made it to the Liberty Memorial (WW1) and to South Plaza - a really nice place...kinda looks like disneyworld though. It's supposed to like like a southern (maybe mexican) village...with all kinds of shops, restaurants, bars, etc... as I said - a really nice place. went to cheesecake factory. OMG! I had a chocolate cookie dough cheesecake! AMAZING! our waiter was from albania and invited us to hang around with him when we're in the area again...we might do this, since st. joe really won't be a metropolitan city in the next few months :)
I uploaded some pictures from our trip (we = cindy, yuichi, wolfgang=driver and myself)...
There's a liquor store close to the campus that carries all kind of European beer brands. Besides some "weird" ones like "st. pauli girl" (mit dirndl!) there are actually beers like, spatenbraeu (optimator doppelbock), weinstephan, warsteiner, bitburger und PRINZREGENT LUITPOLD ROYAL HEFE WEIZEN! :)
anyways, i better get back watching the Chiefs (Kansas' nfl-team)... gonna play soccer today! I'm excited!
hope you're all doing just fine

MWSU

Welcome to America...

So the first of 15 weeks of this semester is over...
Classes have been allright so far. Consumer behavior should be a "doable" class, Psychology as well. Principles of Marketing is an evening class. I'm the only one living on campus. Many parents or older people in that class.
English 104. To be honest - a joke. So I sat in consumer behavior wednesday morning. it was 11am when i realized that this assignment we had for homework said we actually have to "discuss" the three "this i believe" articles from the npr.org website.
Autsch, so I had to skip lunch, when to the lab and worked on the assignment. i had like 50 minutes. List 5 features in every article and discuss how they arose interest. features sind in dem zusammenhang stilmittel gewesen - hab ich aber erst spaeter gecheckt. Well, i basically jsut summarzied the three essays. in deutschland theamaverfehlung. So we got our assignments back yesterday... really, i germany, i probably woudln't have handed that paper in. here - 10/10 points, nice work!
mkay... i think my personal I believe essay got along pretty well...we'll get them back on monday and then we have to chance to correct it again in order to get an even better grade... i might post the essay on my blog for those how are interested... give my feedback :)
So school should be allright...Around 17th september we're gonna have our first exams...after getting back the results I can adjust my studying-style ;)

Since Wolfgang is renting a car right now we've the chance to get around a bit. So we went to this one liquer score. und was faellt einem als erste ins auge? ein ayinger fuer $3,29. Well, of course there are other well-known german beer brands like St. Pauli Girl beer (mit m dirndl!)... but they also had spaten, becks, warsteiner, bitburger and stuff... and weihnstephan...but since we have to experience the different culture we got some Miller Genuie Draft beers...
