life

The girls would’nt wanna believe me when i said thats not the smell of weed. They thought that the entire town was getting high. It sure smelled like it, .. but from my experiences on the east coast i knew that the spraying of skunks smells almost just like it. When we went shopping last saturday we finally saw a dead skunk on the road so the girls would believe me after all.

One day I was playing basketball on the court just outside my door. We just finished a 4 on 4 game when suddenly a huge crowd came onto the court and wanted to start a tournament. It was to fraternity houses playing against each other.

On Wednesday we did a lot of reading for the upcoming class. I don’t like books and for some reason I was a lot quicker with the reading than the girls. Our instructor who does global economics is the coolest guy! We is into planes and all this. We owns a little plane himself. So he offered a “Discovery Flight” where students can actually fly a plane for 45 minutes for 80 bucks. Every single student in the class signed up. I like his class already. He tightly connects global economics to politics and other current stuff. A very interesting class!

 

It has been quite a party week for us.  After class we and some other germans drove down to a house party of four other german girls. We bought some beer and had to drive their with our bikes. I had some cans in the basket in front of my bike when i passed a cop car on a stop sign. Haha, … just smile and wave! Smile and wave. Boy i can tell you I almost shit my pants ;) Driving back was fun too ;)

On Thursday alot of reading again. No, .. its not just party all the time! Too bad that we had a quiz in that class that night. I still got like 6 out of 10 right. And those quizzes don’t really count anyways. After class we all went downtown because Thursday was a major partynight in Santa Barbara. We took Bills Bus. This is a bus which pics up students in Isla Vista for 10 bucks two ways. There is music on the bus and it allows students to drink. Pretty funny. The clubs in Santa Barbara were alright. Didn’t like the music very much. We went to Sandsbar and Eos. I lost all the other germans after the Eos so i took the bus home alone and went to Freeb!irds to have some Nachos. Yummy. I guess Freeb!irds are the best!

Although I watch craiglist every day I havent found cheap surfing equipment yet. I wann ago surfing so bad! Yesterday we rented the movie Hangover. Today was a rather lazy day. We did all of our grocery shopping. Its quite a pain in the butt to take the bus to Albertsons and carry all this heavy stuff back to the apartment.

And I also got another video for you guys. It keeps track of how long it takes me to go to the beach by bike ;) Enjoy
