New people are here. I am exploring Berlin.
Yesterday a bunch of new people came to the program that I am in here. They are going to study here this semester and leave at the same time as I do. I met some of them and hope to get to know them and make some new friends. A bunch of them are from GW in Washington, so if I do end up there, I might know some more people in the area. I also started working on my goal of visiting and exploring the area around every subway station in Berlin. A girl in my program is doing it with me. Yesterday we went to a couple places, and decided to pick up something from each station. It was really fun, and I am looking forward to doing it again today. I thought I would also share something with you all about Berlin that I love: the Museumsinsel (Museum Island). My mom and sister didn't get to see it while they were here, but it is one of my favorite things about Berlin. There are a bunch of Museums on this island, and they are building and renovating more all the time. In few years it will be all done. I really envy the people who will live in Berlin in 2007. So much will be done by then, because the World Cup is here in 2006, and the tourists will be gone after a while, so the people will have this really cool city just for themselves for a while before the next wave of construction starts.

Germany is the armpit of the world. One of them. Cleveland is the other.
We're learning all about Germany in this Wagner class I've got. And what I can say is this: he who holds the spear of destiny controls the world.
Did you know it takes about 11 gallons of milk to make 1 gallon of cheese? Wholy crap!

There had better be a video of this coming home to America - in fact, it would make a wonderful Mother's Day present. And being older (defintely) and wiser (possibly) than all of you - I say Des Moines, Iowa and Pie Town, NM are the true unshaven arm pits.
I heard LA kinda stinks...

What is wholly indisputable is that Michigan City, Indiana is at least two steps less desirable than armpit.
I don't know much, but I am fairly sure that an arpit of the world lies in Arkansas. Maybe you guys don't smell it all the way up there but it is definately detectable from TN. Any state where yokels come out of the hills and comandeer highway reststops, defending their new homes with shotguns, reeks of armpit to me.
Another fun Arkansas fact. They rank dead last in US public education. That can't be good.
I have happy childhood Arkansas memories. Of commandeering gas stations with the familty from The Hills Have Eyes.
I guess one third of American biology teachers support the teaching of creationism.
It is obvious that we have simply not considered the fact that this creature must hae many arms and therefore many armpits - it is not limited to merely two. But having lived in Des Moines for a while I can reaffirm my belief that it is defintely one of the world's armpits- no doubt about it. Plus I tend to believe that the armpits only exist in what some of us still refer to as RED STATES!
