Germany!!

Hello!!

I made it to Germany yesterday. It was very hard for me to sleep on the plane, so I had a little nap, and got settled in my new room.

Now, I think I am all unpacked. I took a little walk, and did some shopping today.

Either today, or tomorrow I am going to go to Mutlikultur. I tried going today already, but couldn't find it! I walked down the same street like 4 times, and didn't see a sign, or the number.
After I go there, hopefully I can sort out my visa, and get it started.

On my walk, I stopped in a Kamps and got a Schokolade croissant, and a bun. :) Yummy.

I am staying with the family I'm going to be working for. They're very nice and the kids are so cute!
It's going to take a little while until I can get into speaking German with them all. Fortunately, the parents both speak English, so they are the translators for now between the kids and I. Hopefully I can start speaking German better soon. :)

All for now.

Germany! Here I come!!

I'm arriving in Germany on Monday!! :D

It is all very exciting, and very nerve wracking, but the time has finally come!

I have decided to come into Germany as a tourist, and then apply for my visa, so I'm hoping that goes over well. I'm not looking forward to the documents to fill out, but I will get through it! :)

I still can not believe that I will be in Germany this week...
I can not believe that I will be staying there for around 14 months!
It just is not connecting in my brain that this is all happening.


I am very excited to learn more German! I am also very nervous, and know that I will tire easily from being over-worked in the language... but if I come back in a year speaking pretty fluent German, it will definitely be worth it! :D


I am really looking forward to meeting the family that I will be staying with, and the children that I will be taking care of. The whole family seems very sweet, and I'm sure it will be easy to get settled.


I hope to post again sometime this week after I have arrived!
