Frances in Germany

I studied for a little over one year in Paderborn Germany, from July 2005 to August 2006. These are my accounts of life in Germany. Enjoy the mishaps, spaniards, and super bees, I sure did!

Beer in the Cafeteria


Me and Sara working at the Eurobiz Party

So all the student orginizations at Uni Paderborn throw a party (a Uni Party) on campus to raise money. They sell tickets and drinks and everyone has a good time. Eurobiz, the group dedicated to exchange students and responsible for organizing our adventure to Berlin had thier party on Thursday (yes, thanksgiving, but they didn't know that). My job at the party was to stand with Brendon and make sure no one pushed the fire alarm. I did this from 10 pm until 12:30, then I got to party for the rest of the time. My drinks were free and I got the cool t-shirt I'm wearing in the photo. I had a lot of fun dancing and drinking. Oh, this all took place just below the Cafeteria on campus. Yes, they let you drink here. We have a campus pub, and even the cafeteria serves beer at lunch. I think here they understand that students are going to drink no matter what, so you might just as well be the ones selling them the alcohol and make a profit from it. Anyway, it was great fun and the money they made is what they use to help pay for our trips, so it's really working for a cheaper weekend trip in the long run. That sounds like a good cause to me. "Sell beer for...Yourself! And get a free t-shirt!" you can see in the photo what I've done with mine. It was by far the coolest one there!
