We are here in Kiel. The bus ride was long but enjoyable. Our rooms are ok. I'm more and more ok with them as time goes buy. I think we have a really good group of people here which makes everything better. We have a huge community kitchen on our floor and at meal times we all gather and cook together. It's quite fun ( Read more... )

Ya'll,  livejournal is SO weird in German! Instead of Friends it says "Freunde" and instead of update it says "Neuer Eintrag."

I love it hear. I mean...REALLY!  I'll be posting pictures on Facebook and Webshots very soon. Our host family leaves something to be desired. But thatÄs ok because hopefully it means we will just get our own place. Sure we ( Read more... )

So this week has been nice. I'm not gonna lie. But I'm about ready to jump off a tall building.

I've been spending most of my day's the same. Sleeping in until 9:30am. Staying in my PJs until 1pm. Finally getting out of the house around 3pm.

We've been meeting up with various friends and eating at various Athens establishments all week. Had Indian ( Read more... )

WOW! It's been a while since I've updated. Derek and I made it safely to Georgia. It's so good to be back in the land of sweet tea and pick-up trucks with big Gs on them. The drive was long. We left New Haven at 3am on Friday and got to Athens at 6pm. But I have to say it was pleasant and it seemed to fly by. Poor Bella. She was such a trooper but ( Read more... )

It is so freaking hot in this house! Derek and I are currently packing up the computer room. We've decided to do a room a day. Just got a call from Tommy. Apparently they are going to be in Athens from the 5th to the 7th. We were planning on driving down on the 8th but have now changed that to the 5th so that we can see them. Which means that we ( Read more... )

Ahhh...my last day of work. And quite possible a decline in Journal entries from here on out. I find that I usually update my journal from work when I am bored. I'll have to get used to updating from home now ( Read more... )

I'm typing this as two men hover above me installing motion sensors in our office. There is literally a man just feet above my head with a large wrench in his hand...

I just got an email from someone in Kiel. Apparently all the double room apartments in the University's dorm are booked so Derek and I will be staying in a single room. But, we will ( Read more... )

I just took my placement test for the language course in Germany. What am I doing? It's crazy to think I will ever be able to speak or comprehend German! I'm seriously considering moving in with my parents and letting Derek go alone. There's no way I can do this. I'm so bad with foreign languages. I barely got through Latin in highschool and I ( Read more... )

Just as we were settling down for bed last night Derek pulled out our picture album. I came into the bedroom and he was in bed with all these pictures sprawled out across the bed. So we stayed up for a bit looking at a bunch of old memories. It was so nice. There were pictures from Justin's 21st B-day (when I ended up passing out at The Grill) and ( Read more... )

Wow. So bored. You know I should really go through all my LJ entries and see how many of them start that way ( Read more... )
