Feeling Better

I'm finally done with my cold, and I had to rest up this weekend to get back to normal. Three of my roommates went to Pilsen and Prague this weekend--and I'm sorry to have missed it--but their getting back at 1am this morning gave me the impression that I was better off getting some rest for the upcoming week.
On Thursday, we'll take a short written test that encapsulates most of what we've learned over the last two months, and getting a B or better means that I'll be able to avoid taking the oral exam at the end of the two week study tour. I'm all for not having to worry about academics when riding on a bus for two weeks, and I imagine that a good portion of the class will be able to be in the same position.
Last Thursday, our main instructor invited the class to the Agustiner Braustube for dinner, and we had a fun time sampling their signature Edelstoff lager. The food was great, and I learned that the prices for food and beer were low because the place was a sort of cultural dispensation for the brewery. Having a few liters wasn't such a good idea the next day however, because my headache led me to believe that the beer had a decent share of higher alcohols.
On Friday, our class has the opportunity to go to a huge beverage trade show in Nurnberg, and I should have lots to report on all of the free samples and other things experienced there.
