Today was much better for me than yesterday. I don't think I could have gone anywhere but up since yesterday. Hong showed me the Supermarket this morning. About a fifteen minute walk from my building is Aldi :). Then I took a much needed nap because I am still recovering from my jet lag.
After my nap I tried to catch up on my TV shows, but Murphy's Law has foiled me again; all the websites on which I watch TV are only available to internet connections in America! So if anyone has some shows on DVD that they do not need for the next year please feel free to send them :) lol they will be returened, I promise. So I just watched some Modern Marvels episodes I have on my iTunes. Then, another nap. I'm so tired it's rediculous.
After my 2nd nap I updated the blog and wrote in my journal a little. I made my first meal in Germany...pasta and meat sauce...not very German, but it was what I could do. Then I spoke to Anne and Cliff Munns, some tears during the conversation from missing home and then Anne suggested that I ask one of my roommates to show me the movie theater and around the down town. Sebastian was the first to come in and he had never been to the movies in Tübingen so he did some research on the internet and found the theater and he could not translate the title, but he said Cameran Diaz was in it so it may be familiar. We get to the movies and I got to see "My Sister's Keeper" in German. A little hard to keep up with, but I have read the book so it was ok.

The seats in movie theaters are assigned on your ticket.
Well that was day two. I will try to update as often as possible, but once school gets started there will be no guarantees :). I love you all and I miss you very much. Please pray for me.
