Well I am doing a lot in school and stuff besides actually
traveling all over Europe! J
The past week was really busy with school stuff, I couldn’t believe it! I am
taking that art class which we ended up having again this past week every evening
for 5 hours. And it went from a nude drawing class to a weird abstract fashion
design class. We had to design an outfit then build it out of sticks and tape
so that we can actually wear it and it can stand on its own. Eventually we have
to paper Mache on top of it…. I do not like it; I’m an architect not a fashion
designer!!! So needless to say mine is terrible lol but oh well!
Me modeling my outfit, well part of it! it is really dumb! lol and I hated it!
We had our last Photography meeting where we turned in our
project and no I am finished with that class. I know I passed so YAY! We had to
take pictures to fit our theme on an analog camera and then we spent 15 hours
and one LATE night (5am) in the dark room developing our film and pictures. I
had not ever done anything like this before and I loved it! Had a blast and got
to learn a ton!
Studio project is now going and will be moving fast, but it
is super easy. We were given a winery that’s located about half an hour from
here and we have to redesign the façade of the building, or the entry way and
the front to make it more interesting because it is super boring! This class is
a sophomore level class and I am a second year Graduate level student, so it’s
going to be fairly easy for me. But that’s ok! I can handle that while I’m in
Europe! J
Then I have 2 other classes, the one I’m a making a
portfolio in and that’s really easy (especially since I already have one) and
the other is my German language class. Which is going…. Okay…. I’m terrible but
I really feel like I’m actually learning something!! Which is great! So school
is going good. We don’t have class on Tuesday this week because it is May Day.
In Germany this is a huge Holiday, everyone has off of school and all the shops
and places are closed! So this week we only have class on Thursday! J
The town is busier than ever, with the Robe of Jesus that is
in the Church here and is only revealed to the public a few times a century. It’s supposed to be the robe that Jesus was
wearing before he was on the cross, all the locals think it’s just a hoax, but
over a million people have traveled from all over in the past 2 weeks to come
see it, including the Pope. So there have been tons of tourists and people
everywhere!
The Apartment is great still, Cordy and us get along so
great and we love her. Will on the other hand has been a mess. I haven’t talked
about him much so I will tell you a bit about him, he is very interesting….. He
is a Fashion design major and is gay. He is very tall and the girlest person I have
ever met in my life. Worse than any other Girl I have ever known. At first we
all got along fine. He is just super obnoxious and dramatic, he told us all
kinds of stories that none of us believe because they are so farfetched. Supposedly
he won this huge design competition and has now been given a job for Calvin
Klein in New York City and plans to move there with his Fiancé once he gets done
with school. Cordy told us that none of that is true, he didn’t win the competition,
he got a runner up award. But I guess he really is engaged to a guy who lives
in Zurich, Switzerland. While we were
gone to Italy he decided to use Audrey’s razor to shave… and he is completely
bald and has no facial hair. So Audrey was furious and upset. She changed the
blade and it happened again a few days later, soooo she got into it with him
and now none of us get along with him. We all just kind of ignore each other. Which is completely fine with us. We spend a
lot of time with Cordy and we like it that way!
Kristin and Audrey!
Cordy has been taking us to her to work out at the swimming
pool where she goes and works. It has been nice. We do laps and aerobatics,
plus we have gone to a few classes as well. The place is super nice; it has a
spa, 4 swimming pools, huge slide, tanning beds, sauna, and lots more. I plan
on treating myself to a day in the Sauna when the girls are gone sometime! Plus I have really been eating a lot healthier! I eat a lot of salads and fruit. I barley actually eat meat, and I have only had red meat like 3 times this whole trip. If i get meat its about once a week and is either Chicken or Lamb. But i have found a candy bar that I love here and its killing me :) Coconut and chocolate! Dalton would love it too!
One of my delicious salads! :) thanks to Cordy who taught me how to make a good and healthy salad dressing using vinegar, olive oil, and herbs.
The girls are both leaving for a week or so at the end of
May, first of June. Kenra is going home to be in her best friend’s wedding and
Audrey’s best friend is coming to Europe for 2 weeks to travel so Audrey is
going to spend a week with her. So I will be all alone in Trier for a week, it
would be a good time for someone to come visit me! J Around May 30th J
I love it here and I am having a great time, It has almost
been 2 months and I still have 3 to go, I cant believe it, I feel like I have
been here forever!!!! I am ready to come home! But I am excited about all the
trips we have planned for the next 3 months! Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, and
Vienna, Austria. Then hopefully a day trip to Luxembourg City. The Girls are
going to take a 2 week trip to Prague, Austria, and Switzerland also, but I
think I will be scrapping the bottom of the money bucket by then for sure, plus
If mom and dad come to visit I will be traveling with them!
It has been rainy here for the past week and is supposed to
keep raining for the next week or more but at least it has been warmer. Yesterday
was a rare and Beautiful day! It was almost 80 degrees and clear! All of us
international students that have been hanging out a lot decided to go to the
park in Petirsburg just outside of town for a BBQ. We have friends from
everywhere, Mexico, Greece, Columbia, Poland, Hungary, Spain, Russia, and
Germany of course. We bought a couple of the “grills” they sell at the store
here for 2 euros, they have the case and charcoal all in it ready to go we just
have to light it. And we all grilled and ate food. We watched some boys attempt
to play American football, they weren’t very good at all, then we played some
volleyball and sat around all afternoon, it was so great!
Grilling!!! :)
I have made some great friends and the friends that I came
with from K-State have become even better friends! I am having a blast! But I miss everyone at
home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
