The first few days have been pretty good. I was in Frankfurt for a day before I came to Stuttgart because my place here was not available. I got a super-cheap flight, thats why I came early. It worked out ok though. I found a place to stay in Frankfurt really easily. I got in at 5:50am and I was at the main train station by 7. I basically put my stuff in a locker and walked around for a while. Nothing was really open until 9:30 and by then I was super tired and needed to rest.
When I woke up there were a bunch of people hanging around the lounge and I met two Americans and two Austrailian guys and we went out for dinner, had a drink and looked around.
The train from Frankfurt to Stuttgart had a bunch of old ladies on it, and they pulled a full spread of food out of their bags and drank 4 bottles of wine at 10:30 in the morning. and they kept singing too.
I got to the University at 12:30 and the stupid international student office was closed, I was pissed. The hours are crazy. So I sqwatted outside of the office and one lady was nice enough to let me in after awhile. I was able to get me apartment key through them, so I was kinda lucky that I didn't have to stay in a hostel all weekend. In total it took me about 2 days today to get all the 8 things done that I needed to register as a student, and I really don't know why I need to be a student here because I'm only here for three months.
I basically wallked around stutgart looking for government offices for the past two days, which let me look at most of the city too, which was nice. Really annouying though.
Finally got a full day of work in today and tomorrow is Corpus Christi. Apparently I don't have to go into work so good for me.
