Hi guys,
I arrived safely to 30 degree Celsius weather! I also arrived to NO APARTMENT!!! Yeah, there was some issue with the girl before me not signing out and taking the keys... so now I have her apartment and the MASTER KEYS to the building. I get my real keys on Monday, along with internet that will cost me 70 Euros for the three months (it is 10 euro a month, plus 40 set up fee). Monday is also the first meeting with the Exchange Program.
Actually, a lovely girl (Erika) picked me up at the airport, despite my plane being an hour late. She waited forever for me. It was very kind. We caught a cab back to the apartments (it was about an eight minute drive.)
Also, the Security guard at the building who welcomed us and distributed our keys, was VERY nice. I got to use my German with him. He said it was very good (he may have just been polite). I think if he had been any different of a person, my entrance to Germany would have been very negative.
I am pretty lonely... and I was very tired... and I have noticed a trend between tiredness + travelling = lonely homesick Jess. I think I just need to remind myself to give myself some time to adjust. I might struggle with doing new things... hence things like restaurant disease (that my newfound allergies have not helped).
But today Erika and I are going to hunt down all the people from the program who are here already.
Ok, we are going to check out the area.
Love you guys!
Hey lovely,
ReplyDeleteI was feeling very lonely when I first arrived in Germany too! The best advice I can give is get sleep! The world is a totally different place after being well rested ;). Make sure you eat some nice meals too, and drink lots of water! If your body is happy, so are you :). That being said, I am in the same time zone as you, so feel free to contact me! I'm FB messaging you my cell number ;).
Love and kisses!
