Wenn ich nur in Freiburg bleiben könnte...

I met with my tandem partner today. It wasn’t as awkward as last time. We talked about translating Christmas songs into German. Afterwards, I went to the bar and finally downloaded the most recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

So, I’ve decided that I don’t want to leave Germany. I told my advisor at UM and he seemed pleased. He suggested some ways to make it happen, either right now or after I finish my degree at UM. But I’m not overly fond of the University, so unless my feelings change drastically next semester, I’ll definitely be back for at least a year. But I just love it here. It’s as though the world is at my fingertips… or at least Europe. I can take a weekend trip to Greece or a week trip to Turkey or Africa. It’s all so close! Here things are so much more… nice… connected. I don’t know. Plus, I just love German.

Even though I dropped my clock on the floor and the hour hand came off, the alarm still works. …That is good.
