Anyway, each day I start to like Berlin a little more. I'm starting to settle. I try to remind myself how lucky I am. I am in Berlin. I'm 22 years old with a permanent contract. In Germany, it's impossible to fire someone. The laws here are crazy. Anyway, a contract -a three year work permit that can renewed. I'm not saying I'll stay this long but it's there. Mike and Jess remind me if I forget how lucky I am. I have a full-time job and I don't need to worry about job security in a beautiful international city.
I like that on every corner I can buy some decent fries, coffee, fruit and if you are lucky, some good pizza. I'm such a foodie so with that said - I have not been blown away by any of my outings. I'm hoping that Berlin will surprise me with something. Shoot! I lied. One burger place. It was one of those food trucks -SO GOOD! Best burger -ever.
On the apartment front, I am ready to be in my own space. I'm ready to unpack completely and decorate! I looked at an apartment last night (on my own) and I loved it. They are to make a decision on Monday. It's very competitive. I'm not getting my hopes up. But it would be nice! It's about five stops from school; so a 20 minute ride compared to an hour.
School is wonderful. I really enjoy going and being there with my team. Now, I have met everyone. They are all so friendly and welcoming. If nothing else, I have a wonderful team to look forward to seeing every day. I've received my keys and will soon get my computer. Tuesday is my first official day. I've been observing and preparing in the mean time. It's been very helpful. Without this, I don't know if I would feel comfortable jumping in.
Not much more to share. I don't know if I'll ever love Berlin but I'm not saying no. Also, I think of my Beloved (Italia) every day. It's a motivation. A goal to be reached. I can't wait to go. Plus, I need to find somewhere new to go. I should explore a bit...First let me figure out Berlin.
All my love.
