A lot of Chickens

Well, I know a lot of people were betting against it, but I have now eaten a bowlful of chicken hearts twice in as many weeks. If I would have discovered that you could be a package full of chicken hearts before, it would have been a lot more. Still, somehow I feel weird sitting down with a bowl full of little cooked chicken hearts in front of me. I remember one time in college I found "Chicken hearts and lungs" at the local supermarket, and there were only a few hearts in there. what a rip. Anyway, the last couple minutes were heavenish.
In other news, After 2 official weeks of Deutsch lessons, I seem to be coming around. I would say I am a better student than speaker right now. I guess I need some more practical experience. The class is compromised of 2 Americans aside from me, 2 Iraqis, 1 Croat, 2 Russians, and 1 Italian, and 1 Indian. Besides myself and the Russians, no one else seems to be grasping the whole idea of the course. There are some who must have been living here for awhile and speak some kind of part German, part their own language and part mumbling. For example, the many, many Turkish people around speak a made up form of German. When I hear it, I sometimes wonder how much acting out these people must do in order to get through a whole day communicating with others. Do they ever really understanding what others' are saying?? No idea.
After a lovely weekend with a lucky lady, I will get to work now on my homework, then catching up on some crossies, with the possibility of some review of other tongues and a necklace creating session.
In closing, I would like to suggest Last.fm for all you who are bored of the songs form their music library you hear over and over again. It is a pandora type deal, and personally, I like it because, for one, I am getting a good dose of 90's music that I thought was gone forever. The link will be on the page here somewhere.
