Newfound German love.

Schnitzel and Glühwein.

Naturally, grilled cheese Monday has been replaced with schnitzel Monday. I must say, schnitzel is really starting to grow on me. Every Monday at Exil, the bar in our student complex, we make the choice between 10 different types of schnitzel. To add to the fun, our friend Holly is usually working which means I get 2 biscuits with my cappuccino instead of 1. Before the schnitzel extravaganza tonight, the 6 design students, our student advisor, Linnea, and our Prof. advisor, Philippin, all went out for a drink. After critiquing the menu, we discussed how classes were going. Philippin asked how our design schools differ from Hochschule Darmstadt. The biggest difference is that we are given less guidance and encouraged to be more experimental at H da. Which is why I found it interesting that Philippin said he thought Hochschule should be even more open. He explained how schools in England are this way. Anyway, I had glühwein, which I have fallen madly in love with since my flatmates introduced me. Glühwein, a traditional German winter/Christmas drink, is a tasty, warm blend of mulled red wine and spices. It's like the deliciousness of wine meets the cosiness of hot cocoa. This combination sums up everything I could ever want in a drink. :P
