This whole 'Blog' thing isn't that bad. I like being able to write down what I'm thinking, what I've done and now the whole word knows my life. Oh Joy!! The life of Molly Rose, oh so exciting!

I was looking at the 2 blogs (a whole two, big whoop) that I've posted, and I thought it was rather funny that they were posted at 9 something am, and 11 something am. I actually wrote them at 6 and 9 something pm. I wonder why it has the times messed up? Good question!

Right now I should be studying for my German test that is tomorrow, but I've become trapped into the world of 'Blogging.' And also I needed a good reason to procrastinate (which I've always been very good at). I guess it's time to tell another tail. What should it be...? Bamberg!

Bamberg

So I've been living in Bamberg, Germany for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I'm starting to learn my way around the city, or at least know where things are located. I couldn't tell you what street there on because I have the hardest time remembering street names in German. It just hasn't happened jet, but maybe someday soon. I do know where I live, Hornthal Straβe 2a. Located right in the city center. Perfect location for going to class at 9am (I can actually leave my room at 8:55 and get to class by 8:59, I've timed it!), meeting up with friends, going to the bars, cafes, and clubs and being able to walk home. I don't have to worry about taking the bus, excellent! And everything I need is in walking distance or biking distance. I finally bought a bike, it's a blue curser. My new 'Baby!'

My room looks likes a hotel/motel room. I guess it would be better to say a motel, because it certainly isn't as nice as a hotel room. But I have my own bathroom (thank goodness), and a little kitchenette. My room came furnished, so I have a bed, desk, kitchen table, book shelves and a schrank (I guess it would be called a wardrobe in English, but we really don't have anything like them back home). But that's all that there was. I thought that there would be a communal kitchen so I wouldn’t have to buy kitchen supplies, oh but I was wrong. I had to go buy all kitchen supplies, bedding supplies, shower curtain, and a few other things to make it feel a little more 'homey.' No worries though, it's starting to feel like I live here. I got internet (never thought it would happen), I'm able to cook here, and people even came over to pre-party in my tiny shoe box the other night. It's great!

Bamberg is cute, quite, and the city center is on an island (how cool is that?) There are about 80,000 people that live in Bamberg. About 10,000 people are students and about 10 - 15% of the students are exchange students. Not bad. Next year Bamberg will be 1,000 years old, and none of the city was destroyed in WWII. It's a great old city!
