(There is a faint rainbow over the cathedral -- it faded quickly, sorry!)Today started like most days here in Bremen: with a shower, breakfast, and a tram ride. The hot water heater is more cooperative -- perhaps it's warming up to me? Breakfast was cereal and a banana, as it has been. I rediscovered that not doing pushups for a while decreases the amount that can be done.
This morning was raining, but that didn't bother me much. I have waterproof skin, and my backpack has its own covering. Part of our group (the part with both me and the professor) got left for a later tram to the university. The next one came only ten minutes later, so it made little difference.
I think that the lecture hall has some sort of Avery sedative, since I always get tired in it, seemingly regardless of sleep. We have a test tomorrow, so I hope I don't tire similarly.
Lunch at the university is consistently good, and rather cheap. Compare the mediocrity of Calvin's dining (at a minimum of $5/meal) to the excellent dining at Uni-Bremen, where I tend to run up a 3-Euro charge. The service is very fast.
We got a book for the German class today. It is "Schritte", a green paperback in the neighborhood of 160 pages. It includes a CD, and has full-color pictures. The book's price: 12.50 Euro. Why can't our books be so cheap?
We noticed that the water level of the river rose substantially between our departure and return to and from the University. I don't often spend a lot of time by the window, but I saw a boat of four rowers, and another very thin boat with one person, who looked to be getting quite a workout from rowing. Interestingly, the person was wearing shorts -- a very uncommon sight outside of our group.
