I have been feeling a little uneasy lately. Maybe it's because of certain circumstances in my life, maybe it's because the end of the semester always carries some kind of emotion. I received a package yesterday from Germany, and I cannot express how happy it made me. My uneasiness quickly turned to reminiscing about my short study-abroad in Berlin, Germany a few years ago now.
I stayed with Juergen and Hanne, both of whom were pharmacists, and their teenage daughter, Clara. They were seriously the sweetest people I could have ever asked for as hosts. Every morning they made sure I ate before I left, and within 3 weeks I had become fully accustomed to walking to the U-bahn. I felt like I lived there, and their neighborhood was so quaint and lovely. I had the time of my life, and when I left they said I could come back any time. (Had I not bought my ticket home already, I would have stayed longer.)
In any case, I received this package from them yesterday. Made my day -- no, made my week.
For anyone who is curious, I took German in highschool and into my freshmen year of college (then studied abroad that first summer into college.) When I transferred, I had to cut back because the German class schedule was so intense, but I'm hoping to finish my minor before I graduate.
Tell me how your week is going in the comments!
