During lunch, we went to the local farmer's market. So many raspberries-- I was an instantly a fan. Ended up getting some little rolls to eat (Brötchen)-- I have an endless supply of cheese, fruit, and bread here, so I'm happier than a, I don't know, a goat in a trash pile or something.
After class, I went off in search of a converter-- note to anybody who needs to go to germany... make sure that your converter can fit into a circle. Don't bring one that's square shaped. It will not fit. Also, don't do what I did and buy a cheap converter that won't quite fit your laptop and camera chargers. Not that it doesn't charge. But it kinda doesn't fit.
Went to this huge shopping district and found myself the equivalent of a 2 story German Best Buy. And a (not so) surprising amount of places for people to sit down and drink inside the mall. So many stores. Also, H&M is huge here too. (Haa und Emm) Some part of my brain keeps on trying to convince myself to buy things other than shorts (because they're really nowhere as common as they are in the US, and obviously pretty much all that I packed)... but no.
Took the S-bahn back for the first time! It's a little slower than the U-bahn, but faster than a bus, so that's nice. And you can see so much from the window-- I'm a big fan
Met M's children. Two daughters and one son- the eldest daughter is already married (met her husband as well). They all speak such good English... I don't think my German can compare at all hahaha.
Jetlag finally hit me. I was laying on my bed, trying to learn these verbs... next thing I knew, it was like 2 hours later. Hopefully my host brother/sister weren't like "well this host student is really anti-social, glad I'm not living at home anymore."
And a random picture for you!
