Let me update you on my life:
Lately I have been finding and doing little things to make my life here more comfortable.
I am officially fulltime at the International School Ruhr in Essen from 8am until 4pm everyday. This means my day starts at 6 am to get ready and catch the 7 am train. Its about a 40 minute ride, and then a 15 minute walk. This is my everyday until July 3rd.
In two weeks I will be starting two new units with two different classes, a study session for another, and personal one-on-one tutoring for a student who is falling behind. So yes, I am busy! Super excited to finally be doing what I need to do for my student teaching, but exhausted by the end of the day. Oh well, its fun!
So back to becoming more comfy:
1) I bought my first ever thermos to travel with my coffee and tea for school!
2) I bought a flower for my room to livin' it up a bit (not sure how long it will live):

| Yes, it is in a peanut butter container |
3) I decorated my room:

| Pano of my room! |
4) I bought a bike for 20 euros:

| Janky bike I bought from the back of a turkish guys van |
Best experience of the week: Going to the market across from campus. This market is two parking lots full of EVERYTHING!!!
The first parking lot had retailers stuff any and everything you could need to live.
The second parking lot were personal sellers (this is where i got my bike).
No one spoke english here (i had a german friend to translate, no worries)
Everyone was amazed when we told them i was from USA.
And a guy asked me to be his girlfriend.. he does not speak a lick of english.. it was great!
Well my blogs may not be the most interesting from here on out, my adventures and travels will slow down after this! Keep ya posted on my student teaching though!
Tchüss!
