Language Course and Orientation, teil II

Part II


09:18, Freitag, 16 Maerz, 2012 - I'm sitting here at my desk listening to music. My room is a mess. I have laundry, dishes, and tidying to do. Today I don't have class; none until Montag! There's been a slew of events over the past two weeks. Mostly, I've just been getting to know the place. I've got a bank account, I've been registered with the town  (almost) and soon I should have a visa. Soon after I have those two things I should be able to matriculate to the University of Konstanz. German is certainly nothing if not a totally bureaucratic place.

My grasp of German is stronger than ever! It's all organic in its development. It's cool. I just had an easy language test yesterday.

I'm trying to limit my spending however I recently just purchased a Garmin 910XT with heartmeter and footsensor. It arrives in hopefully less than 4 days. The price tag on such a thing is not cheap. Somewhere between tophat and guitar. Can't wait to train with it! Today and tomorrow are 16km runs, a day break with stretching and icing, and then 20km runs. After this marathon I'm going to working on building muscle again. Personal fitness goals are important to have!

The weather is sunny and about 19! It's feeling very spring like. Time to air out your houses and throw away winter junk. Just throw it in the infinitely deep landfill down the road. Shame on you, you dirty scoundrel! Buy less, reuse more!

Will put pics up later.

20:01, Freitag, 16 Maerz, 2012 - I 've been wanting to do this all day, calculate my speed of my run. 17.432km in 1hour 30minutes. Including the water break halfway through at home. That gives a nice pace of 5:09minutes per km or a Marathon in 3 hours 36 minutes! I hope I can run that pace the whole time. I could do better if I had regular rehydrating every 15 minute as will be the case during the Marathon. Tomorrow I go to Freiburg. Now I go to a party and try not to drink too much. Or at least equal parts water to alcohol to stay fresh.
