Busy Bee

Who knew that having time off of school would mean I would be so busy? My days have consisted of planning trips, forest walks, kitty snuggling and most important MOVING! 

I finally left my WG in the French Quarter in Tuebingen. It just became too unbearable. I knew I made the right decision when I came home last week to find out one of my roommates had used the bottom end of my razor to clean HER hair out of the shower drain. Gross, no thank you. So, I silently packed my things, cleaned my room and moved to Hartmeyerstrasse on the other side of the city. I now live on the 6th floor and have a nice little view from my kitchen balcony. I live with 15 other people, which should be interesting, but the kitchen was cleaner than my old one and we have 4 showers and 6 toilets all of which were cleaner than my prior bathroom. Not bad. I met the Hausmeister who reminded me a lot of my Uncle Gary and I immediately felt welcome and that I had made the correct decision. Yay me! 

I'm so behind with posting pictures and they're just sitting on my computer waiting to be seen by all of you. The weather here is amazing, it's sunny but still a little nippy outside, I love it. It's been about 13 degrees Celcius the past few days and is supposed to get up to 18 next week. We had a pretty short winter, but it was one of the coldest in the past few years, and I survived without tears or frostbite.

I leave for Croatia Monday morning with my friends Katie and Brendan. We're flying into Zagreb then taking the train Tuesday to Rijeka on the coast for two days before we return to the city on Thursday and fly home on Friday. I've become quite excited, and the three of us are really missing the Ocean so getting a few days on the Adriatic Sea is going to be perfect, even if it is a little cold and rainy. 

After about a week at home I'm off to Rome for 6 days! Oh I'm so excited to see that wonderful city but I'm trying not to think about it yet because otherwise I might spend all of my time planning every little thing. One thing I have become since moving to Germany is a little more spontaneous, I know, it's crazy right? 

Now I'm going to work on uploading some pictures for all of you and then I think this beautiful southern Germany day calls for a hike or a bike ride! 

Everyone needs a smile in the Morning :]

Happy 1st of March!
