Winter Has Come to Jena

Today is the first snow we´ve had-yaaaayyy! And it has been snowing aaalll day. It´s pretty, though.

Pro-Snow. It doesn´t necessarily have to be here in Jena, but I am appreciating it which is why I put it down. But, and this brings me to...

Con-Since it is only the first snow, and everyone says that when it snows here it normally doesn´t stay for very long anyway, it´s not sticking. Pretty in the air, but turns everything just plain wet when it finally settles.

Pro-I´ve come to the realization that Germans put seeds in everything. I happen to like it. You can also write this one down in your notebooks as another big difference. There are seeds in bread (sunflower, pumpkin, and lord knows what other kinds), yogurt (I think the stuff I saw was made out of corn or something), salad (I had one today that had garbanzo beans, I think, and these other beans that i think were the seed for those fat, crunchy-when-raw sprouts used in asian food-water sprouts or something like that, instead of the yucky, skinny bean sprouts), sauces, and well that´s all I can think of right now, but that´s still a lot.

Con-The Simpsons still isn´t funny. And I watched the past 2 "new episodes", which for me were not new because I had already seen them. I think that the new episodes here are a little behind because they have to translate them, so the new season here is a little behind the new season in the states. And it comes on Saturday evenings instead of Sundays!
