Wanna know how I know I'm in Germany? My usual Rebecca Black Friday song torture was met with blank stares from my German friends. But y'know, there are some things that should never be exported...like palmetto bugs and Rebecca Black and cheese squiggles. Or whatever those weird knock off gas station brand cheetos are called. But I digress!
Wednesday we had our Orientation Seminar, which was pretty much teaching us how to deal with cultural differences and things we'd encounter throughout the summer. Plus a lot of group exercises that involved us invading each other's personal space for the sake of i'm not really sure what haha but it was fun and a cool get to know you kind thing.
I went back to the room after the seminar to look for apartments but i ended up missing the rest of the group when they went out for drinks. Instead I met up with Peter and Martin in Kreuzberg and we still ended up meeting the group as we were walking down the street. Small world? :P
We went to a few places then to a party at this old warehouse, and then finally, sehr fröh in the morning back to the hotel. the next morning we said goodbye as we all headed off to our respective internships sites, and I headed to Peter's since I'm staying with him while I search for an apartment.
Yesterday Tommy, Daniel and his gf arrived in Berlin for a visit, so they went to a concert and I stayed behind to search for apartments. I met up with them later that night to go out and we hopped around to a few places...it was a fun night :)
today has been super quiet, we've just been relaxing and hanging out which is nice...I've gotten a few answers on the whole apartment search, it's just a bit stressful trying to find one that's just right. You don't wanna live with creepers or somewhere too expensive or far from work or [insert other stipulation here]. So wish me luck! I know I just started, but I already feel like it's a lot of work! i hope it works out well..
anyway, tonight is the Germany vs Austria game so we'll probably watch that...then tomorrow who knows! hope you're all well stateside :)
