At the start of week 4...

I have made it 3 weeks and 1 day. I feel as if this is a good time to clear up a few matters.

1. The window in my picture is unfortunately not in my house in Germany. It is somewhere much more strange and exotic. Provo.

2. I have still not met the man of my dreams. I didn't realize that this was the purpose of the trip, or that I had already met and exceeded the appropriate time frame in which to accomplish such a feat.

3. I thought I had played volleyball before. Then I played with Germans.

4. German is... still a work in progress. I'm currently using the sponge technique. This is, in fact a real linguistic theory (although it goes by another, yet hardly more sophisticated name) that says that people learn language by first reading and listening, and then writing and speaking. I didn't totally support this theory upon learning it in my language acquisition class. It's lately been sounding more and more attractive.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.
