I am waiting waiting waiting for some friendsies to log onto skype, we ate dinner (gemuse, which means vegetables, and sauce and soy bits and rice AND I LOVED IT) and watched a german film (that i liked because it was about women and i am feministish) and then I retired to bed for a little daily facebook stalking, at which point i leapt off of my (super comfy) blow up mattress and hassled my cousin into letting me borrow her computer so I could snag the few babygirls that were still online and see their sweet little faces on skype, but by the time everything was in order (Im Ordnung) no one is online.

And now I feel bad for harassing my dear sweet cousin who is letting me stay in their gorgeous flat with tall ceilings and interesting walls in the ghetto, and am considering faking a skype conversation so she can hear me through the door.


Fall has come, and I've accepted it. I walked through leaves with my giant leather boots, crunchy crunchy, little yellow things blooming on the sidewalk, the first of their kind, sort of like a pleasant appetizer to what I know is to come.

So currently residing in Wedding, which according to various sources is the Berlin equivalent of a ghetto. It's not horrid, in fact it's quite interesting. I went for a long beautiful bike ride today and boy did I see some things.

But I think the fact that I'm quite impressionable mingled with my SAD and thus Berlin is adorable and the sun shined and I squeaked through town on my fixed-speed bike from the 80's.
However, kaput break + flimsy H&M shoes = recipe for pedestrian disaster!

(I was assured that it was an original East German model.)


I'm applying for school here!
I'm in the process of attaining my German visa!
- currently have the 3 month time period in which to enroll in school, give them some money, find health insurance.
All of which can be achieved :)
