Na, und?

Thursday, February 4

I've now been in Deutschland a week now, and slowly acclimating to the environment. Luckily, the weather is actually way warmer than Connecticut or Chicago but the sun is rarely out and it's always overcast so it feels like it's always night time. And always snowing.

Unfortunately, I'm not yet in Berlin, still in Bremen, a Northern coastal city that I think was once a castle and still has a moat. I've only met one other American and one Brit, so I speak German 24/7, which is great, but exhausting. I had a dream two nights ago in German, which I never thought would happen. I also dreamt that Kaitlin wanted to get a tattoo on her hip of a dragon (?), so...yeah...I have a lot of weird dreams. This is definitely the most international experience of my life: the students in my class are from Sri Lanka, China, India, Tunisia, Albania, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Russia. No Europeans. It's pretty hilarious to listen to us all speak German though. Just try to imagine it.

In case it makes you feel better Kate, before I wrote this post I watched an episode of the OC.

Kudos on the name by the way. You're totally brilliant.

Love to all.
