A change in Venue

I switched room this week. I was told that a new room had been reserved for me by David Starr. I didn't have too much of a choice in the matter. The new room is about twice the size (and twice the rent) with it's own private bathroom. It's in a different wing of the same building. This wing was just finished. As you can tell from the scafolding that's still visible through my window. I'm now right next to Alex, rather than on the floor above him. There are only 10 people on my floor now, as opposed to 24 with my old room. This is nice because it'll make the kitchen less crowded. One thing that is also kind of nice is that everyone moving in here is new. I'm not stepping into a hall where people have been living together for multiple semsters. I've only seen 3 other people in our hall. There is a mat outside the door of one of the rooms, and I saw someone's parent looking like they were moving in there, but I haven't seen who it actually is. The major downside about starting fresh is that there are no communial cooking items like there were in the outer dorm. Alex bought a pot from what's basicly a pawn shop yesterday and with that we prepared the delicious meal pictured above.







Tonight I'm going to a dinner that Willhelm (the coach of the track club) is having. Then tommorow at 9:07 my train leaves for Berlin. There I'm staying with Tomas and Wolfgang, who are firends of my wonderful aunt Lucy. I'm in Berlin untill Wednsday morning, when I take a train back to Goettingen. Then I leave the next day for Switzerland to visit Eric (my dad's cousin), his wife Liza and their kids. I will put up updates and pictures from my travels whenever I can, so check back.
