Anyways, I woke up this morning not being able to feel my fingers or my toes because the landlord won't turn on the heater until it gets colder. just wonderful. so i put on my long underwear which definitely made me warmer, but led me to the question "if I'm wearing long underwear in September what in the world am i going to do in December?"
Today was another uneventful day. I read Bertolt Brecht's "Three Penny Opera" most of the afternoon. And I have to admit, when you come across a word you don't know in German and then you translate it to English and then you have to look up the word in English it makes for a long and discouraging day.
This afternoon I went to church which was wonderful as expected. We sang "How Great is our God" in English which was AMAZING!!! Who new Chris Tomlin was such an international superstar!?
And then I've been back at my desk defining words in German and English, chatting on Skype, and wondering how I'm going to stay warm for the next three months! And while sitting here being oh so exciting I realized that you guys don't know what my room looks like which is weird. really weird. so here she is...my humble abode!
Right when you walk in the door
My desk

From the window
The view from my window! Check out the river! There's usually swans swimming by!
