Tomorrow is my last day of langauge school for this round. I start a new course on Monday. Or maybe it's Tuesday. I'm not really sure; Germans write the date first, then the month. Add that to it's being in my third language and to the fact that I am a little dyslexic, and you get the picture. I got through my course and caused no major international incidents. I only made a few memorable mistakes: I called my friend Kristen my girlfriend and when I spelled my name, I said that it ended in "J."
Things I am thankful for/Things that replenish my joy:
1. The lady at the Deutschpost knows I am an Auslander, so she speaks very slowly to me.
2. Guys at small group hug each other. Sometimes they even hold hands for a second.
3. Art is seen as worship.
4. Tommie SMSes me, so now I know that "barf" is snow in Dari. Everytime it barfs, I giggle to myself. Luckily, I haven't estefarked yet. Praise the Father for that one.
5. Germans sing "Happy Birsday" to each other.
6. Cake.
7. Calling my parents in the US costs approx. 1 euro cent/minue.
8. Dogs are everywhere, and they are all very well behaved.
9. Good toilet paper is very accessible.
10. People over here have never heard the one about two muffins in the oven. It's a big hit.
KWood, I am also jumping ship on fb photos. I'm sick of my work being slaughtered.

You need to tell me the one about the muffins the next time you see me.
#2 makes me happy. Seriously...they haven't heard the one about the two muffins? Dang.
I tried holding hands with dudes here but they weren't into it.
Hmmm. Maybe you need to move here. Sounds like you would fit in better.
