cop saves woman from python

At an Oregon pet shop, the woman who was working, was attacked by a python while showing it off to customers. While the snake had bitten her arm, it started to wrap around her arm trying to get her on the ground. As people tried to keep the snake away from her neck and the rest of her body, the cops were called. When the cop arrived with his knife, he was asked not to kill it because of how expensive it was. Instead he pried its mouth from her arm with the help of two responders from the local fire department. The snake was finally released from her arm, and the woman suffered puncture wounds but other than that she was fine.

germany


This past fall i went to Bebra, Germany for two weeks. I went with 15 other students and two teachers. While we were there, we went to school with our hosts and followed them around from class to class. It would have helped if we had German offered as a foreign language because just sitting there not knowing what was going on got kind of boring. We only went to school for 4 days, and took field trips the rest of the time. We went shopping and sight seeing. At night there were a lot of parties that we could go to and they were pretty fun. There were a lot of younger kids running around drunk with their parents just because they could drink and it wasn't really that big of a deal. On the last night we were there, all the host families and American's went to a castle where we had dinner. The whole trip was a lot of fun, and anyone who gets a chance to go should go.
