Today I enjoyed a day of "getting life figured out." A little unpacking. A little decorating. Socializing with Alexis and Chelsea. Grocery shopping with Chelsea and Mike. Tonight I'm having folks over for dinner and possibly a game of Yahtzee.

After unpacking my groceries, claiming space in the cupboards, organizing my Kuhlschrank (refrigerator) and cleaning my sink, I received a light knock on my door. My dorm mate, Johannis wanted to see how I was adjusting. We talked (in Deutsch, of course) about having a dorm room "meet and greet" night with everyone. Then Andy (also from Deutschland) came out of his room and we had coffee all together in the kitchen. It was a nice and relaxing afternoon. Meeting my dorm mates made me enjoy the place I'll be calling "home" even more. They seem like a group of pretty cool cats, so I'm looking forward to having them around.

Tubingen is a great city. It's big and is just hectic enough to be interesting and fun. :] It's the most interesting city I've ever lived in, and, I think, the city with so much to offer. I'm very happy with my decision to study abroad, because I feel like I'm going to get a lot out of it. Memories. A better perspective on the world. I've laughed. I've cried. I've been confused. And I've relished in the simplest of moments (getting on the right bus and getting off at the right stop, all by myself!).

I haven't been everywhere. But it's on my list. :]
