I’ve been home for about a week now, and every day I miss Berlin. Adjusting back to my regular life has been pretty easy, but it’s also sad because it means that I’m not in Berlin. I loved the feel of the city and how I could just hop on the UBahn and go anywhere. During…

Castles, Improv, and the Prinzessinnengarten
I can’t believe I only have four more days in this wonderful country. I’ve had such a great time here so far, making new friends and learning a lot about the language I love. While I’m looking forward to being home with my friends and family, I’m really going to miss Berlin. On Saturday, I…

Getting adjusted
Today was my first actual full day here. I slept through the night (thankfully), so my jetlag isn’t as bad as it could’ve been. I started the day with breakfast – some Muesli, and apple, and coffee. My host mother, Isabel, ate with me and we chatted a bit. At 9:30, I met Claudio at…
