Class and presentation went well. Went
running along the river and even down right next to it for at least 1km. Pierre
Paul and I have decided to run 21.1k (half marathon) in three weeks here in
Innsbruck! Very cheap registration compared to states.
Made a delicious dinner and hung out with
everyone for hours at the table just talking. I surpassed my learning of three
German words each day. I was making flashcards! Stefan from Bulgaria has been
here for one year and is now very conversational in German. This is my goal. I
will try my best!
12 March:
Going skiing on Patcherkofel today! Let's
hope my 13 month old sprained ankle holds up and my bones are stronger than
ever! Taking an extra calcium pill for sure. Great adventure to pursue! Pierre
has extra equipment and I came prepared with ski goggle gloves and pants so it
works out perfectly. He has a car as well so I'm saving money. Mom would be
proud. Sking for like 70% off!

Had a blast skiing!!! Thanks to Lisa thirty
minute teaching lesson I was good to go for the rest of the day! It was just a matter of getting used to it
again.
Innsbruck will be hosting the 2012 Youth
Olympics. Saw the stadium, ski jump, bobsled, etc. They were hosting a
championship bobsled even that night so we saw them setting it up. Later back
at the apartment it was on TV.
We laughed. We fell. We froze. We lost
gloves. We ate snow. We nearly blew away. We stopped the Tbar on numerous
occasions. Memories memories memories.
Can't wait to go skiing again, will be much
more comfortable!
Had another party at our apartment. I just found out that our landlord supplies us with 3,000 € for
the semester to use to host parties or buy whatever the entire apartment needs.
Just another reasons why I love this place.

13 March:
Had a relaxing Sunday. Going out to dinner with Megan
and Johanna.
Went to a restaurant up on the mountain. A good Sunday
dinner. Had cheese dumplings which were very filling and delicious to say the
least. Finished dinner with a heisse schokolade (hot chocolate).

Another week of class beginning tomorrow. I start my
second class; Organizational Behavior. Professor is supposed to be excellent
