Uh, oops - It seems that I have neglected my blog for almost an entire month! In the off chance that anyone still checks this on occasion, I'm really sorry, and I'm going to try to resume. I'm afraid I can't catch up by going back over everything I've skipped in detail - then I would never catch up. What I will do is give a brief summary of what I can, and then move on from the present. I will also eventually load pictures onto my Picasa space which you can browse for more details.
April 28 - May 1: I met my friend Tori, who was in her semester abroad in Budapest, in Vienna. We spent two days in Vienna, a day in Salzburg, and a day in Freiburg. Highlight from Vienna: I saw an opera performed entirely by marionettes! It was really professionally done. We also heard the Vienna Boys' Choir. Highlight from Salzburg: I saw an old lady in the street selling marionette creatures made from wooden beads that were exactly the same as the ones my parents bought for my sister and I ten years ago! I wanted to stop and ask her how long she had been selling them, but I thought of it too late and I didn't see her again.
May 4-6: SAFT (Semester Anfangs FreizeiT - Begin of semester retreat) with Campus for Christus. Basically we went to a cabin in the woods and did a little bit of worship and learning and a lot of hanging out. Highlight: The Stupid Ninja Fighting Game . If you don't know what that is, its basically just the type of completely awesome and silly game you can only play with a bunch of college students who have been shut in a cabin all day because of the rain.
May 11-12: Visit to CERN in Geneva. Highlight: Getting to know other physics students, and hearing about how graduate students can be involved in particle physics.
May 16-19: ICF Congress, a meeting of church communities from all over Europe in the movement started by people in Zurich. Highlight: Hanging out with people from ICF Freiburg, having a pretty deep talk with one of the speakers, and spending time in solid worship to my God.
May 20: Bike ride to a Strauß in Endingen (20 km away) with Nelly (see photos from Berlin). A Strauß is a restaurant or inn located on a vineyard. The ride up passed through the beautiful terraced landscapes of Kaiserstuhl.
