welcome to hamburg! my first post
from germany and if you expect me to write in german now i am sorry
to disappoint. i still think i sound funny when i speak it and
dotting my ΓΌ's is a pain when i have to write application letters
and such. also i just blow-dried my boobs. what are you up to?
i also blow-dried my hair which in
itself is a novelty i haven't attempted in ages and only did because
i was so cold, but it didn't help my boobs which were also really
cold, so i just stuck it into my t-shirt for a few seconds.
just another day in hamburg. while
it is still freezing (or what feels like freezing to me after 4 weeks
in thailand with constant sweat running down my face) today there is
a bit of blue skies. that also is a novelty because since my arrival
almost three weeks ago i haven't seen much of the sky. the weather
totally tricked me because i got out of the airport and it
was...nice. well, evening, but nice and warmish. i think hamburg
arranged it like that so i wouldn't turn right back around and get on
the next plane out, because had i known that since then it would be
the most dreadful weather i can imagine, i would have run while i
could. on top of it everybody keeps on telling me that it was amazing
in april and i just think what the fuck?! and the they are all
lying.
now
i have been here for just three weeks and i am just very slowly
getting out of my bubble. a bubble of hurrah, i am here!
what the fuck am i doing here? why is it still light outside? will
the sun ever shine here? wow, look at all these pasta choices! i need
a job. sehr geehrte damen und herren, i am awesome, please hire me! i
want to buy everything at COS. a look at my account makes me cry.
yeah, so much bikram classes in a day. i am too tired for bikram
today, i will go tomorrow. or not. i need my own space. i am so happy
to have my bestest friends around me... yes,
the bubble is slightly confusing and thus exhausting.
on monday i
realized i need to chill. not in the sense of not doing anything, but
in that way were you relax and let the magic happen, that only
happens when you don't clench your jaw too tightly. i can say it is
working. when it rains it pours and at least now that is not meant
literally in hamburg.
while that
worked for about two days, my wallet got stolen on day three.
agh, the karma
that eating at mcdonald's will get you.
now things are
somehow back on track and i am staying with my brother (who is an
awesome cook, so it is no hardship to be here!) till i will hopefully
move into my own place at the beginning of june. before that i have a
wedding to attend and friends from new york to show around and a
whole lot of general merriment so life ain't so bad here. oh, and
they have macarons too! till i find time to sit down and actually
write a story or two, find me on instagram (thanks to awesome
internet connection, which is fast everywhere!) under #ilivehere -
don't ask, it is an inside joke only friends from new york will get,
so just go with it.
