We'll begin with Monday, where i last left off with my adventures. (i really sould be studying wines, but to hell with that shit)
so monday, we had class in the am and then lunch and then we had a visit at a cheese farm. we learned how to make cheese, and we atually did make cheese. and it was the most boring thing ever. i mean it was pretty neat, but i was fucking exhausted. i just wanted to sleeeeep. making cheese is a long ass process. and some of the kids saw a cow get artificially inseminated. and they are STILL messing their pants over it. jesus. a cow got a hand up its ass. theres not much more to it. and then we ate about a litre of fondue. and bread. and i had an espresso and then we came back to the school the end. pretty much. that place had a sweet dog though. and the girl handling the cows had a sweet stool on her ass. like. she had a stool strapped to her ass for conviencneecne .
tuesday
class in the morning, had our first wretched exam (the second is tomorrow, obvi) did really well, the exam wasnt tooo tough thankfully. and then we had some lunch and then off to Monsteiner Brewery, the last beer stop before heaven. what a delightful little joint, about 2200 meters above sea level. places like that make me excited about being in the major. we started offf the tour with two .3 litre glasses of beer which was plenty (and delicious) and the guy who ran the place was nice as ever. funny. just an awesome awesome establishment. pictures eventually. ater the tour we made it down to the cellar to drink more beer and eat cheese and meat (my new hobby when i cme back to the states.) and then i bought a mug and a 2 litre bottle of beer in this awesome bottle. awesome. came back here for dinner i think...and yea then watched a movie last night? nothing to fantastic. we do so much i forget all the details!! it kind of blows i should update everyday. OH and on the way back from the brewery we stopped at this Gorge called via mala. 60 meters deep? and just gorgeous. pictures. and everything it was excellent.
wednesday, today
had class this morning and then an early lunch because we had to get out of here in order to be on time for our tour of th Quellenhof hotel. a five star hotel in Bad Ragaz. its situated near a genuine hot spring which is about 96 degreesF. so we toured the hotel, theyll be out of business soon because their clientele is dying, mainly the old and wealthy. its used as a wellness center, nice inside but not that great. toured the place, it was lame. then we went to see the bad pfafers which was another gorge type deal and we got to see the actual source of the hot spring. it was really really cool. ad learned about monks that found it and all this stuff. following this we got to swim in the poolfull of the water from the hot springand it was soo nice. relaxing as hell. lots of older couples making out kind of weird actually. but it was so relaxing and warm and when you got out they wrap you in a warm towel and you can lay down and its priceless. haha. but i was extremely pissed off with some or most of the people in my group. i pretty much only like three dudes all the time. and like 2 more half the time and the rest, never the time. so half the group is pretty much awful. boring and not interesting. or just have a personality on par with a pile of turd. so theyve been irritating me. and two dudes think they can do whatever the fuck they want and theyre trude all the fucking time its the worst. but im getting a break from some of them this weekend because im going to loscano and theyre going to amsterdam. so i get sun and beaches and they get mushrooms and rain i win.
not much else to update with ill prob write again tomorrow or the following day. the end
