Today in the staff room I overheard some teachers discussing superstitions and the Mexixan culture's response to them.

Too bad the night class was full. Can you be put on a waiting list if someone drops out? Probably best to do the German during Janterm... just concentrate on the math. What levels will you end up with?

PS The bionic g'ma is doing better each day...

When you go onto the ISS website: http://www.international-school-stuttgart.de/ It shows a picture of the second floor main hallway. On the right is a blue wall which goes all the way down to the first floor. On the left, their is a railing because that drops down to the first floor. There is also a red wall.

From the outside, it looks like a red box floating. As you can see in the picture, the walls are not 90 degrees either. They are pushed out at the top. This is how it is inside as well, all the way around the room. It's a cool room, and the paint on the outside gives it its name

I really like how colorful the walls are. Hopefully you have a chance to sit back and enjoy how much fun a colorful wall can be. I hope you have a wonderful time in Meersburg. It looks like a wonderful location on google earth. I am very jealous of being able to up and go somewhere on a whim. Have a blast.

Pass my regards onto the bionic g'ma for me.

Guten Abend :)
