News

I am now stationed in Seattle, where it doesn't actually rain all the time. These recent days have been spent exploring the city and plotting long jogs around small parks as well as where we ought to meet some interesting people to befriend. Meanwhile, the job hunt continues.
Aug 21
It is 4:15 in the morning. I have cleaned the apartment and packed my bags. Now I wait, trying to finish the bottle of delicious Ukrainian vodka Rachel gave to me. It is a little early/late to be drinking, I admit, but I want to be deep asleep 45 minutes from now. In about 20 minutes, I will leave and head to the airport. After three flights, with a connection in Barcelona and another in Newark, I will be safe and sound back in the States.

This evening I shared a lovely dinner (complete with cupcakes for desserts, of course) with Laszlo, Tom, and Laura at Tom and Laura's Schöneberg apartment. Unfortunately, I do not have much to say other than that I will really miss their company. I am so blessed to have made the acquaintance of these three wonderful people, and I hope to see them all again sooner rather than later.

So, bis bald... und nach Amerika!

    oh, i can't imagine how sentimental that early morning walk to the u-bahn must have been . . . i know mine was when i left.

    hopefully that vodka eased the sting of leaving, even if only a little bit, and with any luck, by the time you read this, you'll have had a safe trip home. i hope it was an amazing summer.

The Pit of Babel

    • Es muß ein Fortschritt geschehen...
      Wir graben den Schacht von Babel.

      Some progress must be made...
      We are digging the pit of Babel.
