Bus und Bahn Streik und deutsches Essen

So there is a bus strike going on today, in all of Nordrhein-Westfalen, so I had to walk almost half an hour from my dorm to my class today, and then the same time back. This morning it was cold, but this afternoon it was better. So that was lovely, but it should be back to normal tomorrow. It's not a bad walk, and there were people who had longer walks, but it's not something I want to do every day while the weather is still a little cold.
I went out to dinner with a group of people last night, and had German food and watched soccer. It was such a cultural experience, because some of the people in my group were from Germany and followed soccer. I didn't really understand what was going on, but the food was good.
There is a dinner tonight at the Mensa (like a dining hall) for all the international students to meet with their Bonn Buddies. I don't actually have a Bonn Buddy, but I am going to see if anyone wants to unofficially adopt me into their group. We will see at 18:00 Uhr tonight.
We got placed in classes based on our language ability, and I got put in group 9 out of 14. It is a very culturally diverse group. My teacher is awesome! We also have AGs (workshops) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I picked grammar (eww, but I have terrible German grammar), and Theater, which is super fun! I haven't taken theater classes since high school, but I loved them, and this one looks to be just as superfantastisch. But I am outnumbered 3-1 by kansas people, so I'm just going to have to show them up and prove that Mizzou is, in fact, the better school.
That's all for now.

My first German beer. It was really good, and in true Maddie fashion, I didn't even drink all of it.

The restaurant where we ate.

My food. It was DELICIOUS! Like German mac & cheese.
