Das Wetter

Das Wetter in Dortmund ist Scheiß!
I still don't have internet in my dorm so I have to come to the library to do anything. I'll put something of value up here when I can do it in the comfort of my room. So far though, my time at the Universität has not been a pleasant experience. The weather is terrible (freezing, raining, sleeting, hailing, snowing, windy, I live a mile from my class, the library and the cafeteria, etc...) and because I came in the middle of the Deutsch class for the exchange students, I'm the odd one out.
But it's definitely getting better. Yesterday we went to see The Reader auf Deutsch (Der Vorleser) and I thought it was pretty good but still not worthy of the Oscar people said Slumdog cheated it out of. Slumdog was better. I was surprised that I could understand almost everything for at least the first half of the film and at least half through the rest of it; it was a good experience. I met some of the other students from the other levels of the Deutsch class and today I had lunch with some of them and then we went to a cafe called the Sonnedeck (Sundeck) and oddly enough the sun did make a brief appearance through the seemingly endless mass of clouds above the glass roof. Tonight I think I'll try the party at one of the student bars; a different dorm hosts a party each night. I went Monday and had a good time but Tuesday morning i felt like dying so at least I know where my limit is with Deutsch Beer now.
