What? I have to go to school again?

Well actually the key word here is... I get to go to school again! I quickly realized that I was going to be a bit lonely every day with Brock at work until six.  I can only run, look at blogs, read books, and eat for so long. (well actually the eating thing goes on all day :)  So I have enrolled in a class at an adult school where I will learn to speak German! These are some pictures of the room I am in.    I have already gone twice and I absolutely love it!  I go on MWF from 8:30-11:45.  So it does take up a lot of my time,which is a good thing, and I have already learned a lot.  My favorite part about the class is interacting with so many interesting people.  There are eleven people in the class and we are all from different countries like: Bulgaria, Paraguay, China, Japan, Greece, Turkey, Sudan, U.S.A (that one is me), and Jamaica.  It is such an awesome experience to have such different people come together to all try and learn a language.  The cool Jamaican man that sits next to me does speak English so we try and help each other.  The class is all taught in German for the full three hours because the instructor does not speak another language that everyone else could understand.  So yes, even though I did graduate I am in school again and loving it! Here is a bit of what I have learned so far.....
Guten Tag. Mein name is Arrienne Winzeler. Ich komme aus Utah. Das ist in der U.S.A.  Ich spreche Englisch und ein bisschen Deutsch.

This is Waiblingin.  This is the town that Brock works in and where I go to school. We ride the bus together in the mornings to get here. My favorite thing is to get a delicious ice cream cone.  They have the best ice cream in Europe! (so it's a good thing they have the running trails as well eh!)

The building in the background is the Bosch building where Brock works.  He is loving his internship.  He is busy all day, which is how he likes it!
