Muenster, Bochum, and back

Friday after school my Betreungslehererin took me to see Muesnter for the afternoon. We drove to her house with her Fahrgemeinschaft and sat in the garden with her husband for a bit. We had a nice fruit/yogurt lunch and then headed into Muesnter. Both she and her husband studied and have lived in/near Muesnter for most of their lives, so I got a lot of the "inside scoop."

There's a church there with giant cages on the sides of it- cages that used to hold the bodies of people, who went against the church. It was actually pretty crazy to see that they used to normally be on display in the middle of the inner city. Muenster and the surrounding area are still very Catholic, and the Bishop owns most/a good chunk of the city.

We had some coffee (well I had Kakao)...and crepes before heading home. Needless to say it was a nice day (the weather was beautiful). Planning on meeting Mary there on Monday to shop around.

On Saturday I met with four other Fremdsprachenassistentinnen in Bochum. One of the girls, Emily, has been placed there, so she met us all at the train station. After we all found each other, we headed to the hostel for the three of us that were staying there for the night. Then we were out and about for a bit. Starting having a few drinks and just chatting around 3-4, and the night continued from there.

We all got a bit sleepy, but otherwise it was a really fun night. Nice to be with some friends and realize that everyone is a little awkward at their schools. It was really fun.

Monday I went to a hip hop dance class with Steffi, my roommate. I have to be honest I was really nervous because it was a mid-level course, already 5 weeks into the choreo, and I've never danced a count of hip hop in my life. Needless to say I'm wicked sore, but had a good time, and will probably be going back next week (after a lot of practice).

Here's a video of the dance school. If you want to see the kind of stuff I'll be doing. It's a lot slower than the current piece though.

As of right now this is my problem. There is this cat that always runs over my feet into the building everytime I open the door. Then it follows me up the stairs and I have to try to sneak in as fast as I can.

I don't know what to do about it, and it bothers me. I'm scared to pick it up for some reason, but I know it belongs to the apartment two stories below me. Advice?

Bis bald,

Sara
