Classes and having fun

Because we are trying to fit a WHOLE semester in 2 weeks there is a ton of homework. The first day we had an hour of reading and 1 page answer session for that reading. (That wasn't sot terrible) However, Tuesday we had 3 & 1/2 hours reading and three one page responses due and a page response to a song or movie that related to secularism. Then today (Wednesday) We had over four hours of reading and four one page responses to questions from that reading. And we also had another page response to a song or movie that related to Darwinism.  Then we had a full fledged paper due tomorrow. However, our teacher seeing that this syllabus was wearing us out, postponed that paper until next Wednesday. [That was nice of Professor Kersey =)] Tomorrow we have nothing due so we finally had a day to relax and rejuvenate. Most of the girls took naps. Friday we leave for our first session of tours. We are touring some concentration camps this weekend. So, because we won't be in Regensburg at our regular Youth Hostel, I probably won't be able to post until Sunday night when we get back. The youth hostels we will be staying in either don't have internet or charge per the hour for it. So I will try to update this tomorrow, and then possibly Friday morning (not likely) and the I will try to post lots of pictures Sunday night after I get back. So now if you don't here from me for a few days, you know why. Here are a few more pictures from our trip to the Neuschwanstein Castle visit a few days ago.
 
The kind horses that pulled me up the hill, the one on the left was named Phylix (pronounced Feel-ix)

A water fall next to the road that leads from town to Neuschwanstein Castle, I walked down instead of taking a carriage

This evening we went to dinner at a traditional German Restaurant and listened to traditional live folk music. It was fun. I tried some new foods and a new kind of drink (non-alcoholic of course). It was a fun filled evening with 11 teenage girls and our girl leader and her mother and our one guy (our professor). Some interesting things happened that were unexpected but it was all fun.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I will try to borrow some of my friends pictures and video of the music and post them another time.
