Willkommen!

Hey everyone. Day 3 in Germany and finally pretty much settled in. Unsuspectingly it's pretty cold here. When I flew in it was only 45 degrees. The flight wasn't too bad...I almost missed my connecting flight in London because the Brits told me to get in the wrong security line. I didn't sleep the entire was and I was so tired Sunday night that when I washed my face before going to sleep, I washed it with shampoo.

My flat is pretty nice, I've got a big room to myself. I'll upload pictures soon. I have one other flatmate but I have no idea where he is...I haven't seen him yet but I do know that he has a cat. I don't think he'll be back for a few days because he left out 6 bowls of cat food.

I'm surprised how quickly my German is coming back to me, although I'm not nearly fluent. I was able to open up a bank account today only speaking in German, so I feel pretty good about that. It's amazing how well people at the Institute speak English. They know all of our sayings and even some slang. I wish I could speak German as well as they speak English.

Anyway I've gotta go cook dinner for myself and I have no idea what I am doing.

Bis Später.
