Today's Successes:
-- Set up my German bank account!
My host mom took me back to the bank, where I signed some paperwork and got my bank account number. Check that off the list!
-- Shopping trip to Hieber's!
It took me a few laps around the store to find everything, but I was able to get everything I needed!
-- Learned how to play Settlers!
I met up with Dani, Israel, and Anne, who are other TeachBeyond new staff members. I enjoyed eating lunch with them and then learning how to play Settlers! To my GCC friends... now I FINALLY understand that game that you gave up sleep to play!
-- More unpacking
! I put all my clothes in the schrank (wardrobe) tonight while watching a movie. The schrank has a ton of storage space, so I will be able to use the top shelves for other items. I'll be able to put things into the desk drawer and on the shelves once I figure out the furniture arrangement.
-- Prepared my own dinner!
I decided to keep it simple since a) it was just me, b) I don't have much in the frig, c) I wasn't too hungry, and d) I'm still working on my culinary skills!! :)
-- Made it past 10:00 both nights so far!
Take that, jet lag! :)
I'll post again soon with more news from Deutschland!
You're welcome, Heather Joy! (for getting your bags as full as possible, but not overweight!) Soon your apartment will be bustling with your roommates - and friends! :)
