Hausaufgaben 101

One word: Hausaufgaben.

Translation: Homework.

I have officially been assigned AND completed my first homework. Super exciting, I know! :-)

Anyway. It was exciting because on Monday, 'normal' life at Bodenseehof began. Or, as normal as it can really be at this point considering we are all still getting to know each other and the rules and everything. The schedule was completely normal though. Here is how the average week day goes...

6:30-7 Wake up
7:30-8ish Breakfast
9-Noon Lectures (3), coffee breaks, etc.
12:30-1ish Lunch
1ish-5:45 Free time (supposed to be used not only for liesure, but also for homework)
5:45-6:30 Dinner
7:15-9 Lectures (2)
9-10:30ish Free time
10:30ish Bed time

So yes. I am going to be totally on this schedule before long. On weekends it's different obviously though. We have almost every single Saturday completely off and on Sunday we have a required church service in the morning with nicer meals (lunch and dinner) and usually some kind of service later in the evening.

So Bodenseehof is definitely a 100% full time kind of thing, but when you're here it really is the only way to go. You are all together all the time because the facilities triple as your school, home, and church. There is no running away. No hiding. No getting lost. No being left alone. No being overlooked.

Perfect and terrible at the same time...
