2nd week almost done...

Well its been awhile since I last posted but quite a bit has happened since then. This past weekend I went to amsterdam with most of the group and I did like the experience minus a few things. Unfortunately, I had an ear infection that was painful the whole weekend. Not many people realize this but its very difficult for someone like me to wear only one hearing aid and be able to "function" normally. I had a hard time understanding some people but overall it wasn't all that bad. I also had the misfortune of losing my debit card some how. I wish I could say I forgot it or was pickpocketed but I wasn't. I truly cannot remember how I lost my debit card since I didn't use it in amsterdam. Either way, I was still able to pull out some money for the rest of the trip.

We've been in Hannover this past week and I must say it was a much different week than last. I was able to meet and stay at my host student and he's a pretty cool guy. He belongs to a fraternity that is exclusive to primarily male vet students but there are some med students. He was nice enough to have me at the frat house where I got to chill at the garden and drink a few beers. The rest of the time was spent either at the vet school or something related to the school. The school itself really surprised me because I was not expecting such a large campus for veterinary medicine. I was given a tour by another student, Martin, and he was kind enough to show me around. On Tuesday we went to the stud farm where it was pretty damn cold but a cool experience....then we went to the small, but quite beautiful, town of Celle. There, we were given a tour around the city in which we learned about the castle and houses.

Tomorrow is the last day and I am going to go to the zoo and then we're off to Switzerland. Until next time....
