Today was awesome.
First, after German class, I had a field trip for my cultural identity class to a Stasi Prison. It was such an amazing educational experience. I will blog about that in another post later in the week because there's so much super interesting information to tell you, and this one needs to be short so I can get back to studying for my German midterm which is tomorrow!
After I got back from the prison everyone told me that I had gotten a package - it was the one from Lauren, and it had arrived already! I was SO excited and had to use all of my willpower not to open it then. But since I knew I had to trapse around the city for several more hours, I figured that'd be best.
After my next class, I went to my doctor's appointment, which I was really nervous about. Much to my surprise, the receptionist was super nice and helpful. When I met the neurologist, he even made a joke (!!! a nice Berliner who even made a joke!?) and asked if my package was a gift I'd brought for him. He was very kind and helpful, figured out what's wrong, and is sending me to a physical therapist to get my headaches under control. So after I return from Paris I'll start that, thank goodness.
When I got home (actually, as I walked up my 5 flights of stairs, because I couldn't wait any longer) I opened Lauren's package and it had every thing I could've wanted in it and more. Between that package and mom's, my semester has been made!! After my German midterm I look forward to reading american celebrity gossip magazines and painting my nails with some quality american nail polish while eating some peanut butter cups ;)
Okay, back to studying!
