Ok, so anyone is reading this has been hopefully not checking in because I've been awful about updating...
So, moving on, hi people!
I did go to customs, on Tuesday, it was again a long trek but at least this time I knew where in the huge building I had to go. I got there to find out, once again, how much bureaucracy and customs bothers me!
My lovely coat was sent as a gift by my mom directly to Germany but any "gift" exceeding 45 euros in value is subject to a tax. To gain my coat's freedom from customs I had to pay, thank goodness everyone takes visa!!! I love my coat and though I don't want cold weather yet, I think one good thing about it will be wearing my pretty loden (forest green color) coat around.
Oh and silly Kendall, the class that I thought was supposed to start today, the school's website said the 25th, actually starts Montag....aka neunundzwanzig August. Oops. I got all the way to the school before I had this error pointed out to me. It was my fault for not realizing because the slip said the date but they DID change it from the website that I'd been referring to when signing up for the course.
Ah well, another two days of leisure isn't so bad! I took it upon myself to go to the tourist center by the train station since my mom is planning her trip to visit me in late October, now I'm armed with tons of tourist information about hotels, sightseeing etc...yay!
Alright, that's all I have to update for now, once I really start my class I'll let you know how it goes!
