Another short update because school hasn^t really started yet and everything is kind of happening in bullets/ to do lists anyway.

-I have a flat to live in! I can only stay for a month however. it is quite nice- will post a photo or two later. I have a place lined up for when i have to move out already too- going to check it out this afternoon.

-Spent a day in Luzern this weekend. Calatrava. Nouvel. Medieval bridges. etc. Sketches below. Photos to come.

-Opened up a Swiss bank account today. Wire your money to my numbered account and I will hide it from the IRS for you. I opened with Post Finance (a division of Swiss Post) and I am interested to know more about how they operate. Imagine if USPS had a national private and buisness banking division.

-German class starts wednesday

-Still having problems pre-registering for studio professor. I can`t get the woman who oversees mobilty students to email me back, and she wasn`t in her office today either. We`ll see what happens - I don`t have much of a choice though, which makes things simpler. (Must be in English.)

-I was wondering around the Architektur building today (HIL - Hönngerberg Campus) and they had these enormous (15 ft long?) rebar models showing what the inside of these large concrete pours actually consists of. I have never worked construction or anything of the sort- so it was pretty interesting to visually see and understand.

-Going to see Inglorious Bastards tonight.

-Speaking of movies- The Weather Underground documenty is playing this Thursday at this free theater by the lake. Should be interesting.

ok, that`s it I think. Luzern Sketches below. Turn your head sideways if you need to. Look for the full sketchbook on my website later on: www.samuelallenmortimer.com
