Introducing...

MY ROOMMATES!!

Alright, so the girl in the middle is Karen who is an International Relations major, and on the right is Carina - a German exchange engineering student. The last roommate is Danielle, a Sociology student, but i don't have any pictures of her yet because YES i am still borrowing pictures from everyone and these happen to be ones Carina took last night.

So, best part about having a German exchange student roommate?... hanging out with her and her german exchange student friends!! Man these kids know how to drink, although according to them "It is so expensive to get drunk here in Canada". I will now introduce you to the 3 guys that came here on the same program as Carina who are also all in engineering and come from the same university as Carina:

This is Frank. Frank is a passionate capricorn who studies civil engineering, likes pink slippers and walks outdoors in spandex shorts. Alright i made the capricorn part up and the slippers are mine, but the rest is true. Plus he makes a mean spaghetti with tomato sauce.. even if it is out of a jar.


Next we have Thomas (with the emphasis on the last syllable mind you). He frequently drinks TNT (as you can see if you enlarge the pictures) because it's cheap beer with 6% alcohol, and according to the germans "it is so expensive to get drunk here".



And last but not least we have Fabian who, when this picture was taken, was fascinated with my hair straightener. Apparently they aren't too mainstream in Germany, he'd never seen one before. Anyhow, Fabian is the mastermind behind the best quote of the week: "I just made wee wee into my trousers." In his defence we were talking about the fact that you can say "pissed" to mean drunk or to mean peeing. Well either way, he's crazy and has a very loud high pitched laugh and feels like a criminal in this country when he goes for a cigarette.. which is at least 10 times a day.

So there you have it.. the german crew. Carina has them over all the time and they make dinner together pretty much every day. Ooh and they taught me how to swear in german.. but i wouldn't be able to spell what they taught me for the life of me. In english it's "shut up you asshole", so that should prove to be very useful.

Alright i better go do some dishes, we're actually doing a good job of keeping our living area decent but my bedroom is already a mess-ola. Surprise surprise.

Love you all!
