Well hey there, wide wide world of web! Friends, family, random folks who might have googled "Weinstrasse" and come up with the boring ramblings of an assistant English teacher... willkommen. :)
Sorry it's taken me so long to get this thing a-goin'. I wonder if some of this German beaurocracy is rubbing off, and so it will now take me sixteen times as long to accomplish anything here as it would have in the States. Seriously, I've been here for a month now, and am still getting the basic settling-in stuff squared away: "Go to this office, so you can be re-directed to that office, which is only open from 2-3.30 on Wednesdays, to get a form that you will take to a different office to get a stamp, and in 3-7 business days they will send you an application for access to the online form..." I am not kidding!! It's been quite an exercise in organization and keeping on top of things -- to the point where I was on the phone with Anna the other day, and informed her that I would pick her up at the Bahnhof at "two-twenty-four pm." Ha ha! What's next, will I be counting the granules of sugar to put in my coffee? (But only between six and ten a.m. on Thursdays.)
All right, but, back to blogginess! I figure, I send enough long droning emails, why not just post them online for all to enjoy? Cure the insomnia of the world! Let the blogging begin!
