Throwing myself into walls

I'd like to start this post with a shout-out to a few ladies I used to work with. You down with OGC? Yeah you know me! I miss my pals. I haven't been posting much lately for no particular reason. I had an interview with a very prestigious law firm last week and every other minute or so I stare at my phone and try to will it to ring. I guess I feel like I'm in limbo. I think I've got a shot but what the hell takes so long. My German class is going really well. I am done with the first month on Friday and i've already payed up for next month. My understanding of the grammar is really coming along but I need to memroize the vocab. German has different three different genders and four different cases. For exampe "the apple" in german could be, der Apfel, den Apfel, or dem Apfel. There's a lot to memorize. I've met some cool kids from class and we play squash evey Tuesday. I like Squash. Squash and racquetball are unique sports in that you are forced to throw yourself into a wall at full force. I am happy to announce that I beat the reigning champion Claudio from Italy and currently hold the squash title, although this is currently being disputed. Shannon and I traveled to a town south of Salzburg last weekend for some skiing with some work friends of her's that were in town for the weekend. Not fun. Salzburg looks good and the ski resort was nice but it was a stupid turn-around trip and we spent more time on the train than on the slope. The Apls are gorgeous though. The Rockies are amazing but the Alps are surreal. They look like an artistic representation of what beautiful mountains would look like. Shannon and I are moving into out new apartment next week, just before Mother and Butch arrive. The weather is getting warm here and I'm looking forward to sitting at picnic tables drinking liter-sized beers. Tschuss.
