Frauen Power

So apparently Angela Merkel is going to be the new Chancelor of Germany. I'm confused... last I heard Schroeder was getting a coalition of the left wing parties together so he could be chancelor. But now Merkel and the CDU have made a coalition with the SPD... the conservatives and the socialists.... how's that going to work? Probably not well, seems to be the concesus among newspaper editors. Basically they will be sharing power so they'll fight over everything and not end up changing much, which could be very bad because Germany is desperately in need of an economic kick start right now. Time will tell I suppose.

Anywho...

I love fall! The weather has been grand the last couple days. Sunny with a slight chill in the air. Perfect weather for my cute corderoy blazer and cool new scarf :) I went for a long walk today in the woods, very pretty and peaceful. I'm really glad I'm a little ways out of the city and can go walking on paths where I can just see nothing but trees for a while, I need a little nature sometimes.

I met someone who lives on my hall! And she's Irish! Yay for English speakers :) haha. She is very nice, and shared her ice cream with me, which makes her pretty darn cool in my book. She's an Erasmus student, there seems to be a lot of those around here...

You should get used to more frequent blogging now that I'm set up in my room with little to do in the evenings.

Ok, I need to prepare lessons...
