It's been a while...

March 4th
7:52 AM FDH Room D10

Yesterday afternoon we went to Woolworths (yeah I know, it went out of business in the US like twenty years ago, but its alive and kickin here). It's a horrible store. We bought more room stuff there, and later we went to die Zeil (a shopping district) for dinner. I'm getting a little tired of Conor and Andy's taste in cheap meals--Doner and wurst, but thankfully we stopped at a grocery store so now I can at least resort to granola and cereal bars if I can't stomach any more Deutsche Fleisch.

By 7:30 I was absolutely exhausted, and when we got home I went straight to bed. I'm reasonably sure my heat doesn't work or I don't know how to turn it on, so I'm glad I bought a blanket.

This morning I woke up at 2 AM and then again at 6. I ventured into the shared shower to find it, like the rest of the dorm so far, remarkably clean. From the products already there, I gather I'm sharing it with at least one guy (Nivea for men) and a girl (conditioner). These are merely guesses though because I have yet to see anyone on the floor. However, I heard American English being spoken in the hall last night which is exciting. Anyway, after letting the shower run for a few minutes, it was still ice cold, so I took my second excruciatingly cold shower this weekend. Cold as it was, the shower was clean and nice so I really can't complain.

Today is the day of the placement test for my immersion language course (AHH!).



Retrospective comments:

Cereal has, as at TCNJ, become my life here
The "american english" was actually canadian english--what a let down [and for future reference they get really mad when you call the way they talk 'american english']
I learned how to use both the heating system in my room and the hot water in the shower-YAY!
