Dear Diary,
Es ist ein gut tag! I went to town, went for a walk, went for a run, had a chat with Blair, and phoned my Mom!! It was a good day!
This experience has been good so far. The days are cold, but bearable. The cold here is very different then the cold back home. It is a damp cold. In my opinion, it is worse than the dry cold back home. It chills me to the bone. To make it worse, its cold all day!
The language has been very difficult to learn. Everyone tries to speak to me in German, and I'm not understanding much of it. The language barrier is very frustrating!
Thankfully Blair's family is amazing! They are SO nice, and can all speak English. Blair is a very interesting person. She likes to write, cook, and has an underlying spirituality. I had a very interesting conversation with her today. We chatted about writing and the importance of stories. She has this really cool quote at the front of the house that says,
"Unlike the popular belief, the world is not made up of atoms or molecules, but rather of stories."

This is so true! Not in a scientific sense, but in a more personal sense. For example, cultures are built off of stories, Jesus taught using stories, a culture is influenced by stories, our lives are stories! If bad things didn't happen nothing would move the plot, and no character would be developed. We would technically be zombies, roaming around with nothing to do.
