I've added more pictures to the last slideshow and see here my wohnung (aren't I so technologically savvy? aka I googled "how to embed picasa picture slideshow into blogspot")
A la a request from Lilly, a display of my video journalism skills is still to come!
The last two days in Erfurt have been wunderwar, largely because the weather has been wunderwar. The sun has shown its lovely face in Germany once more! I spent the last two days walking tons around the city and taking naps in the sun. Thus, my pale pale skin finally has a bit of color (I still will probably start university channeling Casper, though). It has been so nice to stroll around ohne jacke, although I know it's a farce - colddd weather to come soon. I had it so good in Los Angeles, sigh.
Yesterday I met my lovely university student tutor Nina, and today she and a friend took me and my fellow CBYXers on a campus tour. Nicht schlecht. This week is free, but the whole next week we will be in orientation for international students. Fun to be had, I'm sure.
Funny Helen story: Last night I returned to my wohnung at night and the downstairs door (which until then had never been locked) was locked. I tried furiously with my key for probably 15 or 20 minutes but to no avail. Freaking out a bit, I started buzzing all the apartments until someone let me in. That person came out of my apartment and turns out he's my new roommate (will be taking the room of the aforementioned American guy soon). And turns out my key works perfectly fine, I was just not using it the right way, as he easily demonstrated to me. Of course. Key problems plague me everywhere.
New guy seems chill. He sports dreds, comes from Munich, and is studying forestry at a fochhochschule. Annddd he speaks little English, which means I'm gonna have to use German! Woo hoo!
