Guten Tag!
Good morning! How about that economy??
Just wanted to update really quick --
Last night was pretty fun, except I didn't do anything except mope once again. I am still not feeling well today either :( Oh, well... But Brandon's computer was re-installed with Windows XP from Windows Vista, Uncle Gene didn't like Vista :)
But I worked on that and am now waiting for Brandon to get off so I can fix it more. Also, I am working on my German vocabulary this morning. I have three pages of words, so I'm quite busy :)
Okay, will write more later :)

Yesterday!
Sorry I was late posting today. I slept until about 1130, because I am still not feeling up to par, but hopefully tomorrow will be better :(
I am looking forward to getting all my papers finalized here in the coming weeks. If all goes well, I hopefully will be able to come home for the month of February. This is only if my German and math is able to pass the entrance exam for the college. If not, then we will be looking at doing more practicing during this time :) But, it's all up in the air right now anyways.
Yesterday was okay, except I moped all day long and watched 8 episodes of House ha ha... Fun stuff :) I just wasn't feeling to good. Today I took a practice test for the math in the college, and it wasn't too good, but I still have time to practice.
Okay, that's all for now!

Last night
Hello! Just a quick update this morning. I'm not feeling to well this morning, I think I really am getting sick :(...
But last night I went over to my friend, Ben's house and we played some Mario Tennis on the Gamecube, and I'm not much of a video game player, but that was okay :)
Then, I went to someone's birthday party across the street. I think she was turning 24 or something like that... It was fun, though, because she put on some music and she started dancing, so we locked her outside on the balcony ha ha!
After that, I caught the 20:58 bus into----Wait, yesterday was Saturday. I forgot the buses don't run at the same times as they do during the week. It came at 19:17 and 23:43, but not anytime else during the time I was wanting to leave. So, the people I was going out with actually came out to Mölschbach and picked me up, which was really nice of them.
We went to a Spielhalle (a casino) and played pool for two hours or so, then we went out downtown. It was fun, and I met about five new people that want to hang out a lot now :) So that makes me happy!
But I got home around 3am, and I just got up around 12, so I slept a long time. I had better go eat something :)
Until later!

Fun fun fun :)
Last night and yesterday was a lot of fun :) I started out by working all day downstairs, I was creating a tutorial on part of the program, then I relaxed for a bit before going into town for food.
After we ate our nacho kits from a really good mexican restaurant, I hopped on the 20:58 bus into town. I was going to just walk around for an hour or so before I went to the little club place I was intending to go to. Instead, I walked by another place and saw someone I knew inside so I went in and we ended up staying there until about 12am... It was fun though.
Then the other person I met, Kathi, we went walking around the town a little bit, because the other guy was tired and he went home. We went to McDonalds on our walk, and we got some coffees. She wanted to pay, but I was going to pay, but the cashier asked for a 5€ and I only had a 10€. So she ended up paying anyways, and I was mad, but she was happy she was able to.
Then we went out to the bus stop and sat and talked (mostly in German, so I think my vocabulary is a bit better today ;) for an hour about different things. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. Tonight, I have three offers to go out and do something.
If Ben doesn't call, then I will probably take up the second offer with Kathi, she said she was going to go do something in the city, and if I don't do that, I'll go with my other cousin, Melanie, somewhere. So today is up in the air, but looks like I'll be doing something. Hopefully I'll feel up to it, though. My throat is really hurting this morning. Same symptoms Uncle Gene and Aunt Debbie had. I took some medicine for it, and it feels okay now... I hope I got it in time :)
Okay, that's all for now!

Good Morning!
Sorry I didn't write yesterday! I was really busy :)
I first started with an hour of my German programs yesterday morning. It must be working, because I've been getting a headache after each one :) Then we went down to work, and we finally got the translation program to work okay. That's good news, because it would be really hard to do my job without it :)
Then I also got to using a program that tracks your mouse and creates a video out of it, so that I can do tutorials for customers. It was really neat as well!
Around 2:00pm I went into the city with Brandon and we did some shopping. However the most important thing that I was going to do (recharge my phone), I couldn't because I forgot my phone at the house. Duh ha ha :) But it was nice, and then we came back home. I was worn out, so I went upstairs and watched five episodes of House season 1, only to come downstairs and watch three episodes of season 4 :) So I'm Housed out. I think I even had a dream about it. Crazy!
Okay, well, it's off to work today!

Yesterday/Part of today
Yesterday was really fun... I worked in the morning getting everything completed so I could work more easily downstairs... My first task on the job is to translate the entire help file of the program into English, so I should be learning a lot from that alone :)
In October I get to go up to Essen, Germany for our company's exhibition, where I get to see all the other people's machines as well as our own, and that should be a real experience. Then I get to go with Herrmann, most likely, somewhere to see how a machine is set up. That should be fun! :)
But, I got all the programs that we needed installed, then we went out for lunch. I got myself a pair of cool earphones to listen to my music at night, then we went grocery shopping. All-in-all, it was a nice 4 hour ordeal :) But it was fun anyways!
We came home and we had some really good Spaghetti that Uncle Gene fixed. Not the type of spaghetti we're used to, but the good kind with all kinds of flavors and it was really the most amazing I've had :)
After dinner I built a fire in the fireplace (where else?) and it felt nice to have some good heat :) We watched a scary movie, Death Sentence, I think. It was good... Went to bed and started on my German lessons early this morning. Just finished lunch, a homemade chicken noodle soup, and now going back to work!
Bis spater! (Until later!)
Richard :)
