März 2004
Der Frühling kommt.
Along with spring comes Spring Break. I can imagine that everyone is anticipating a week of relaxation and recreation. Let's hope for some fine weather to attend the less-structured days.
Der deutsche Verein.
The German Club meets next on Tuesday, March 30, during x-period in Irby 204. New club member, Aleksandra Opala, will present a program on Die Weinstraße (the Wine Road) in anticipation of our trip to the Wiederkehr Winery on Saturday, April 17. Everyone is welcome to attend and learn a bit about the wine region of Germany. Participation Points Passes are offered to German Club members.
Another Study Group.
Mario Marcuri in German 1310 has organized another study group for Wednesdays at 12:30 in the library. Check out the study room roster to see where the group will meet each time. Thanks, Mario. And don't forget that Brady and Lindsey are still meeting on Thursdays at 5:30 in the library. Take advantage of the opportunity to practice your German.
Ein Bauernregel
Another Farmer's Rule.
Judith gets the extra point! Judith Kneiling in German 1310 was the first person to send me an E-mail with the Farmer's Rule translated; however, several other students replied with similar answers. Thanks to Amber and Gayla for their translations, too.
Ein feuchter März ist des Bauern Schmerz.
A wet/damp March is painful for the farmer.
