It still hasn't completely set in that I'm living and going to school in a 14th Century castle. I love it here. The castle is beautiful and the grounds, while somewhat lifeless since it's winter, are lovely. There are two moats here that are home to a small flock of black swans.
So fitting for Emerson students. Ahhhh Black Swan!
I'm certain one of these swans will be nicknamed "Natalie" or "Nina" at least by the end of next week.
We took a short walk through the town of Well as a group today. The town is so tiny, about 2,500 residents, and it consists of basically one street. I love it though. We're very close to the border of Germany, about 3 miles, and Belgium, about 10 miles. There's also a river nearby. I'm thinking about splitting the cost of renting a bike with a friend so I can bike to Germany. Just for kicks, you know?
I'm feeling much more awake now, I had some bad jet lag earlier. I felt like if I stood still for too long, I'd end up falling asleep on the spot. But thanks to a cup of "wiener melange" (a German type of coffee drink with coffee, mocha, and steamed milk) I was able to wake up and enjoy the rest of the day. I'm looking forward to exploring Well a bit more tomorrow. That will probably take less than a half an hour, to be honest. But I think it's adorable. Almost as adorable as the baby goats that live on the main boulevard in a petting zoo. I'll post a picture tomorrow.
Goede nacht!
