Enjoy the long weekend for those of you in the States

Today is a day off for many people in Germany.  When holidays fall on a Thursday, which seems to be quite often here, the Friday is known as a "bridge" day and that day is also a day off.  That is the case today for Carsten.  However, I still had my class today, which seemed to drag on forever!!  I am home from class and Carsten is out, as some networking event, so now I have some free time to do a bit of cleaning before the weekend.  I prefer to have my weekends free of that kind of work.  Since I am doing well in my class, both of my teacher's give me extra homework to do.  Today I got a lot of extra homework.  I don't have to do it, but I might as well learn as much as possible while I am here.  But I don't think I will do much of that, if any today.  No, today I think I will relax a bit after I am done cleaning.  I have no plans for the weekend as of yet, but whatever happens, know that I will write down every detail, no matter how boring, here for everyone to read :)

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone in the US!!!
