60 Days Update: Ch - ch - changes!
May 31, 2011 - 5:00 p.m.
So I have been in Berlin for almost 60 days.
Can I get a “Yee Haw” from all yall?
That means I have almost been here for two months. In those two months I have learned how to order Bier in German “Zwei biers bitte”, I have been introduced to winter in April, have lived in two different flats, have danced in an abandoned pool at 4 am, attempted to...

Carnet de Voyage: There's a storm tonight. →
I love the rain. I was just about to write about it, but then I found the post below.
airportlife:
I’m sitting by my open window, staring up to the sky. The rumbling of thunder, the flashes of lightning, the forceful winds, the muffled street noises, I love it all. After looking at the weather forecast this morning, I planned my day around being at home to watch the storm from this window....

Things that are confusing: Washing Machines
Washing Machines
I stared at the washing machine for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to use it. I have never seen more options or buttons in my life and every single one was confusing as hell so I just pushed the button that made the red light illuminate and the other one that didn’t say “STOP” and wished for the best.
The medium sized white machine grumbled and moaned for...

Miles from Nowhere
The water was draining from the bathtub and I was just sitting there shivering staring up at the ceiling. There is this stain that starts at the top of the wall that runs all the way to the drain and it is yellow. I always stare at it and wonder how it got there because this apartment is so nice and so well loved - it just does not make sense that it would be there but it is.
I sat there for a...

Today felt like this
midnightcoma:
“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lars Seibert and his family has been baking bread since 1906 in Berlin. His bakery is the oldest that’s still in operation, producing 300 loaves a day. Now that’s dedication and love in each loaf.

Wedding and Wodka
I woke up this morning (and by morning, I mean noon) and my hair smelled like cigarettes and sweat. My legs were aching and my back was sore as I stretched my arms above my head and let out a huge yawn. There was a small vodka bottle strewn on the floor, a memory from the night before. It read “Wodka”. I think it was made out of lighter fluid but I cannot be sure and I sure as hell did...

It Ain't Always Easy (but that's ok)
So I am just going to come out with it: It ain’t always easy to be a 24 year old American girl* in Berlin (*In the iconic words of Ms. B Spears herself ‘I’m not a girl..not yet a woman’) . And it ain’t always easy to be a million miles away from home or a trillion miles away from best friends who I miss dearly. I had some moments this week that were rough to say the...
