Well, it has been a little while since I have blogged and I am now hearing about it so I thought I better get on and give you an update. I am still going to my daily German classes and it has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes hopeless and other times very motivating. I always have to remember that it has only been a couple of weeks and I won't be fluent in a month. Sometimes I like to think I am. It has been really cool being able to understand a ton more and able to read things. I'm sure Carolin is getting sick of me reading aloud every sign and poster I see. Especially when I sound like Jim Carrey on Dumb and Dumber when he can't pronounce "the" T...T.....heee.....T....hee." Or it sounds like the game Mad Gab if you have ever played. Example : "My Kojak Son". It's pretty funny sometimes. Also I make up my own sentences that make sense to me but aren't structured correctly. It is cool when I talk with my classmates and we understand each other but if a fluent German speaker was listening they would probably be laughing their butts off. Oh well....all I can say is the communication barrier is breaking down. Other updates.....well, unless I get kicked out of the country I have decided to attempt to reside abroad. I am currently looking (not too hard yet) for a job and Carolin and I are moving into a "sehr toll" apartment this weekend right in the center of Heidelberg. I will post pictures soon. Pretty exciting. I finish my German course on the 23rd and then I am hoping to take a trip for a week or so. I'm considering Italy so we'll see. I need to go a few places before I actually have to get a job. I have been working with some clients in the states though so that is a little income I guess. Please recommend my services to anyone that you know may require a nutrition coach as I would love to keep it up. I can send brochures and am able to work via phone and internet. Actually works out pretty good.
New food experiences.......let's see......oh.....Last week I had Knodel. It is a sort of dumpling made with potatoe, wheat flour, egg and spices. It is served with a sauce or gravy. Very tasty. Especially since it was homemade. Other than that I haven't tried to much different....oh wait...Sunday I had a Weisswurst (white sausage). Not my thing but I have to try thing at least once. I don't think I have seen so many sausages in my life ;) As far as sweets go, Carolin's Papa continues to provide us with Pflaumenkuchen (plumcake) at least once a week. Sehr gut! Hope all is well with you all. I'l update again soon so check back. This time it won't take me so long :) xoxo
