More pictures to hold over until I have a relable internet connection in my room

Mein Zimmer!


My comfortable bed with its nice and warm quilt and blanket.


The Kik €2.99 blanket with lemons on it! The pillows also come from Kik for €1.99 each.


Sink area! I don't have my own bathroom but at least I have a sink in my room and a medicine cabinet.


Mein closet.


€1.50 clock. I bought it at the used electronics store. Sadly, it may have been the newest item in the store - most of the stuff looked to have been made in the early 80s/late 70s.


Shelf area with pictures, food, and dictionaries.


My low, cushy chair. Behind it is my new wall hook overloaded with shopping bags. The one in the front is a Tegut bag from the Wehrda Tegut. In Europe they don't give you plastic shopping bags so you have to bring your own or buy them at the store, this means that I am now the proud owner of three plastic Aldi's bags, a Tegut tote bag, a bigger Tegut tote bag, and a ReWe tote bag.

After only three days of German and six days of being in Germany, I can already hold a basic introductory conversation. Sehr gut! Sadly, right now I have limited internet access because my apartment does not have it set up. However, we are trying to set it up on Monday so look for more updates starting Tuesday/Wednesday!

I am roomed on the far north end of campus in Wehrda A Room 312. In the morning, there is an amazing view of the entire valley and the town below and at night the town is light up and sparkling. The only draw back to being in Wehrda is the fact that the building is a 45 minute walk from the town center but it is actually pretty nice because we have free bus passes and that means it is only a 5-10 minute ride into town. The multitude of people in Wehrda also makes it worthwhile because the Wehrda people are quite close and amazing overall!

More later when I have internet of my own and don't have to mooch from the train station!
