I'm home. My flight was long, but there weren't any problems. I just barely made my connecting flight in Frankfurt, but I made it nonetheless. And I landed almost on time in Newark. My luggage arrived in perfect condition, and nothing was missing. I didn't have any problems with customs or anything ( Read more... )

Today has been the longest day ever. I did not sleep much at all last night. I started my day around 6:30, I guess...I don't even remember any more. I knew I probably wouldn't have water between 12 and 4 because of the notice posted on the doors of my building...they were doing some kind of work this afternoon. So I cleaned the bathroom to get ( Read more... )

Today was wonderful, plain and simple. Making myself get up wasn't fun, and schlepping the last of my stuff to school also sucked. By the time I got to school I couldn't feel my arms. I'm surprised I didn't drop everything. Monika and I met up at school. I turned in my key and said my good-byes to the Frau Schmitke and Frau Rausch. Then ( Read more... )

I got a lot done today, but now I'm absolutely exhausted. I didn't sleep too late because I had things to do. So I did my things around here and headed to school. I went all the way to school to drop off some of my stuff for the Schülercafe (the kitchen for home-ec classes and stuff...they actually cater for people, too). I talked to a couple ( Read more... )

I'm ready to fall into bed, but I'll do the quick version of today ( Read more... )

Today has been a long, draining day. I got up bright and early. Actually, I hit snooze a few too many times, and I had to rush out the door so I wouldn't be late. I got to Anne's apartment, and she pretty much had everything in order. I helped her finish getting her things together, and then we had to carry her luggage down four flights of ( Read more... )

I spent a little bit of time at the Britzer Garten today. The weather was beautiful...in the shade. It was rather warm, but I found a nice bench under some trees by a pond. I had a nice walk home. I took the long way so I could stop at the one Döner stand that sells chicken Döners. Then I stopped at the MiniMal to get milk. I came home and ( Read more... )

So yesterday afternoon kind of dragged. I got stuff done, but I didn't feel like going out and doing anything. I was feeling rather tired, and I even tried to take a nap, but that didn't work. Eventually I headed to Anne's for dinner. She leaves bright and early Sunday, so she had a few friends over, and I had a lot of fun. Sure, it was sad ( Read more... )

So today I actually made myself get up at 5:30 (well, 5:39 because I hit snooze once). It was the last time I had to go in this early, so I managed to get moving. As I approached the school, I knew something was up because students were hanging around even though school didn't start for more than half an hour. And it was noisy. As I walked in ( Read more... )

I got up pretty early and made my way to school. When I got there I found out that we had short periods again, and I was glad that I had come early...I had figured that would be the case. I used the few minutes I had to make copies for my 8th grade lesson tomorrow. When it was time for my class I went to the room, but the students weren't there ( Read more... )
