It's been a week since I last blogged and I miss it! However, we're undergoing a move right now (still living in east Frankfurt) and thus do not have phone/internet for the next couple of weeks. Right now I'm writing from the teacher's lounge at my language school and I just explained to an Italian teacher that the phrase "got asked out" has romantic connotations in America.
This weekend we moved to a new apartment and I cannot emphasize enough how horrible it is to move without an automobile and just two people. We carried all of our belongings on upwards of 10 trips on the U-Bahn, and I'm sure some riders were scared of our huge blue Ikea bags bulging with books, bedsheets, and kitchenware. As soon as I remember to bring my camera to work, I will upload some new pictures of the place. It's still pretty bare, but it has a lot of potential. We have a small balcony, a cute kitchen and a nice-sized bathroom, all pretty rare for cheap European living. I am, however, suffering from a panic attack each time I bathe in the new place. The water heater, flames and all, is located right above the bathtub and I fully believe that some sort of exploding/electrical/bomb malfunction will take place when I'm washing my hair.
Besides the move, I was granted a visa on Friday! Yes! It was a really easy process (because E was there bullying them in perfect German) and I can now live and work in Germany until February 2010. I can hold down any job as long as I am using my "Native English" skills. I have my first official class next Tuesday, and I cannot wait! You meet such interesting people at a language school, both trainers and students.
OK, this was a boring update but I had to start somewhere. I'll write more ASAP.
