tiring german

german is a very difficult language to learn. i resent die das der. it makes everything so much harder. my teacher insists on saying, "its not that hard! VERY basic!" i think she has a bad attitude. im pretty sure i also have a bad attitude. alas.

this is a photo of steph and ian. they are my friends from german class; they make it fun. we attempted to have a study session thursday. perhaps via osmosis the german bier aided in our knowledge of the german language. probably not. but we did eat excellent pizza at a little italian place on the corner. and we did all order in german. so there is that.

the u-bahn was deserted last night. it was strange. i like the u-bahn. i find it peaceful at night and intriguing during the day.

im feeling quieter these days.

i have decisions to make. im trying to have ears to hear and eyes to see. im trying to pursue the open doors and accept the closed doors. i wonder where i will be in one month. im sure exactly where i need to be. and in that, there is great comfort.
