The sun is shining, the birds are singing...

OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but after the last couple of semi-gloomy, semi-homesick days things are (if you couldn't tell by the title) looking up!!

Class was, well as class always is, thrilling. Ok, another lie. But i learned alot of new words today and have OFFICIALLY mastered Kunjuctiv 2 (ie - If I had brought my umbrella yesterday I wouldn't have gotten completely soaked) and future (ie - My mom will look like a tourist when she visits Berlin) which is SO SO SO exciting! And I can prove it to you because I had an hour long conversation with my host mom today and got complemented on my Kujunctiv 2 and future grammar! And while I'm on the subject, my host mom is fabulous. We shot the breeze today after school and she is so patient with my German. And while my German classes have really helped, I credit most of progress to her.

Anyways, after class (and Weiner Schnitzel at the Mensa) we met all of our professors and they gave us a quick summary of their classes. It was great to finally have an idea of what the next 3 months are going to look like. I now have a face to put with a name and have my AWESOME classes to look forward to! The only sad part about it is that I'm registered for one to many classes and I can't decide which one to drop...decisions decisions!

Anyways, life here is picking back up and the sun even came out today to celebrate! I leave for Budapest, Bratislava, and Prague on Saturday so the blog may be silent starting then but at least for now you know I'm in high spirits and loving my German life!
