Katie and I ventured to our first day of school today. With a Starbucks ice coffee in hand, (thanks to the Frankfurt Airport) we took our minute walk across the street to school. Being the new kid, is not quite as horrible as it is portrayed, well actually it is. The school being so big is of no help, as we aimlessly circled the hallways in search of a board with our homeroom on it. After finally finding the board, we circled again for another 5 minutes in search of the rooms, finally giving in and asking for help. Thankfully having people to sit with for lunch, we felt a bit more at ease, until they all left and 30 minutes of lunch remained. Walking along, I searched for a place to go until someone recognized me and offered a seat. The classes are going to be challenging but nothing we are not used to. It was a good decision to take beginning German, this will hopefully allow us to not pull a Deb at the restaurants anymore! I am in search of a field hockey team (keep your fingers crossed) if not, I am looking forward to basketball season --- the traveling alone will be amazing (oh, see you in a few days mom, i'm going to france for a game on friday!). Even though it is all a bit different I believe change is good and will in the long run be a good thing for us.
Deb did not do too much today, she read and went for a run.
*The Thai food in Germany is really good -- in case you need a good meal when you are traveling in Germany.
