Day-To-Day Deutschland Style

Salutations,

The days and weeks and months are passing swiftly and steadily here in Osnabrück. I keep really, really busy in my everyday life, which naturally has both advantages and disadvantages. But, I'll give you my normal weekly schedule here:

Weekdays:
6:00 - wake up
7:00 - depart for school by bus
7:00 ~ 7:50 - transit time, usually I watch Democracy Now! on my iPod during this time
7:50 ~ around 14:00 - school at Gymnasium Carolinum
14:30 ~ 17:45 - German language school at the Volkshochschule Osnabrück
17:45 ~ 18:05 - bus ride back home
18:05 ~ bedtime - wind down, usually work on Imagineer Magazine related projects

Weekends:
I am usually free to do what I would like. My favorite things to do are to watch movies (in German of course) and go to various local cultural festivals or carnivals. I am also planning to soon attend a VFL Osnabrück football match. VFL is the local football club that was recently relegated to the 3rd Bundesliga, but they are actually still very good. They have beaten two 1st league teams within the last month!

Finally, I'll leave you with some images of the city and my daily life. It's a lovely European city! It's not huge, but with about 160,000 residents, it is the perfect size for my exchange.

Servus,
Alex
