Doing a Little Happy Dance

It’s been raining all morning and walking wouldn’t have been much fun so I decided to take a mid morning nap. Wasn’t really tired and my mattress isn’t exactly the most comfortable so I listened to the rain ,the weird creaking sounds that seems to come at random times from my bathroom mirror ( weird right?), and the muffled sounds of my neighbors coming and going. Then there was a knock on my door. At first I was excited that maybe it finally meant internet! But it was even better! The other intern is here!!!! Oh it felt soo good to say more than 10 words without worrying about the perfect pronunciation or talking really slowly.  She is napping for now, but I get to have dinner with her at 6:30 Yay! Okay yes, maybe too excited but still this really made my day. Back in Miami I am constantly surrounded by people and treasure the small amount of time I get to myself, but after the last few days of keeping my thoughts limited only to myself…oh this is a good thing. Time for a little happy dance, pause, aannnd I’m back.

One of the kitchen guys took me into Sunthofen to buy more phone minutes. He spoke really good English so I was treated to an afternoon of conversation. It was nice to get out and see a little more of what I am still tip-toeing into. It helps to have a buddy who knows the area and how ignorant I am of the German language. While looking at sausages packaged in glass jars (??? Why???? Then again I also have issued with canned potatoes… they really aren’t that hard to peel and boil!! But here I digress). A man was walking around the store with shirt, suspenders, shorts, and a green felt hat with a feather in it. My German buddy pointed at him and said with a slight smile, “He is very Bavarian.” I wasn’t going to say anything… Hah! Yes he was looking pretty dapper!

There may be a hiccup in the internet situation. The lady stopped by to give me her password to use her internet. I think I might be out of range L I don’t know! I couldn’t find her in my list of connections Oh this is a crushing blow. But I will hope for the best.

So as a result I’m snacking on rye brut and kaise … I will do my best to get sick of it. Probably won’t happen but a girls gotta try! Off to more walking.
