Internships: It's like being in college, except that you actually do work.

As the minutes tick by, mild-mannered Tommy sits at his desk, working tenaciously to finish answering e-mails, translate documents, and plan routes through the perilous German Autobahn. But in the evenings, he is free to roam the city, seeking out danger and adventure wherever it might find him.

(The picture to the left is a mighty stream which floweth forth through the great city of Wittenberg. It ain't the riverwalk, but it works!)

This last week has been fun and interesting. I'm struggling with the language a little, but I might be able to get a tutor so that I can increase my language capabilities. I've been busy with a lot of work in my internship and have met a few more people, including a very nice Tunisian man who is also studying and working. His name is Yassin and was kind enough to meet me in the city and spend some time with me last week. I went to a church this week that several of the students I met go to and I really enjoyed it. This week I will be helping with a Grill Party in a local park. We'll grill food and play ultimate frisbee. I think I might try and put together a game of capture the flag if I can. Anyways, the days are cool, the nights are cold and I have to figure out what classes I'll be taking this October, because that time is bearing down on me sooner than I thought.

I hope everyone is doing well back home, know that I certainly am!
