Facebook Message

This is a copy of a message I sent to some of my friends on Facebook:

Things are going well here, ive met two times now in classes, mostly in german.  Kind of difficult to understand but i think i can get by.
     Ive got a class where we're making chairs, desk, and cupboard/bureau from semi-finished materials like fabric, metal stock, plastic, etc.  A graphics class where we'll make layered paper cuttings, a CAD class for Rhino, and a class where we'll make a flat-pack container of some kind.  I also have a weekly german class.
     Classes meet only once a week but i have a class a day for a week.  Hildesheim is interesting and fun, 100,000 people but still a small town, there are some cool 3D things on Google Earth for it if you are interested. 
     Met some interesting people.  Germans for the most part are very friendly and very cool people.  They don't waste as much stuff as we do in the states.  Food and alcohol are ridiculously cheap, we bought a flat of 24 beers for 6 euro ( about 8 dollars) and it wasn't too bad.  2 euro wine, milk is about 1.50 (dollars). 
     Though today I bought 250 sheets of typing paper for 8 euro and dropped 34 euro on basic art supplies.  Fun times.  We buy an ID card for 250 euro that we can use to take public transport (buses, trains, etc.) all througout the county of nedersaxon for free which is sweet so i can travel to other cities within it for free.
    How are things going at Stout?  How are your new classes?

Oh yeah, no radioactive boars as of yet but i have stepped in countless piles of dog shit.  Dogs are everywhere and they sit patiently by their owners in resturaunts, happily run beside bicyclists and joggers, and do their general doggy business.

There is a halfway lame club in town which ive gone to and gotten wasted a couple of times but this weekend: München and Oktoberfest!

So yeah, what have you all been up to?

Peace,
Clay
