Day 5 of 330

Today was better than yesterday. Julia and I started the day early by going downtown and wondering around for a couple hours and went up to the campus to find the building for our classes on Monday. We also found the flea market and walked around there for a while. My goal was to find a bike this week, but I didn't find one. I think when more student move out at the end of the month and the beginning of October more people will be trying to sell them.

After hopping busses and figuring out the schedule, we went back to the bahnhof to change the address on my BahnCard and buy a city map. I got a small book (in English) about the city and I might do the touristy thing for a while and take the book guided tour of the old city and hike up to the castle. I found a great discount store next to the bahnhof so Julia and I found dishes and silverware for a good price and I found some sheets.

We went back to my apartment and watched some American TV on the internet (Yay!). I washed my comforter and bed sheets and when we went to the laundry room to get my stuff, I found my first laundry oops. The sheets I bought were dark blue and my comforter was white. You can infer the rest. (Keep in mind that the comforter came with the room, is INCREDIBLY cheap and had some spots on it so I think it looks prettier now...considering it was an accident.)

While in the basement, I started looking around and I found the room where everyone in the building gets their own locked storage cadges to keep their stuff in. Some people have extra furniture in theirs, some keep their bottled water or beer in it and a few people even keep their suitcases there. There is even a huge basement room for the bikes and a door that the leads straight outside to the bike path.

For dinner Julia and I walked down to the supermarket and bought stuff for tomato and alfrado pasta. It was really really good and we had a great time cooking to music and having a beer together. So now I'm just hanging out until bedtime. Tomorrow, Julia and I are meeting in the morning to go the church at St. Johns in the old city.

I'm doing much better than earlier this week and getting into the swing of things. Please pray for me. I miss you all!
