Friday / Fry Day

It was 80F by 8:30 this morning. I know it's hot in Brainerd, but it's even hotter here because my mind can't make anything of Celsius, and therefore tends to wander to three digits.

Had a late start today due to the fact that there was no school. Instead, as I noted earlier, the 10th graders went to help out with track and field day for the 5-7th graders. Geli was calculating scores and awards, so she didn't have to be in until 9, although the games began at 7:45ish, and most other helpers had to be there then. Luckily, I got to go with Geli. What did I do? I raked at the Weitsprung for an hour in the hot hot heat. I won't translate Weitsprung, because I've given you enough clues to figure it out, and once you do, you'll feel that much smarter/German-literate. We were totally done by noon, so we went home for a short while, before going into town, meeting Valerie, Chrissy, and Tina, then going back to Valerie's house to make a gift for Nico, as it is his birthday tomorrow. They made a shirt that said "Can't Touch This," and was draped with candies. I didn't really understand, but that's nothing new. We didn't go out tonight, as Geli has both a tennis match and dance practice tomorrow, with Nico's party to boot. Tomorrow night is also the Marktplatzfest, which is held in the city and should be fun.

Working on a Tübingen Photoblog, should be up fairly soon. In fact, I won't even remark when I do open it, so if it's over on the right, you must have missed the gap between this post and its opening.
