I have already been home for over a month and a half. I can't believe it. Sadly, I have only spoken German probably two or three times since being home. I have written a bit of German in emails to friends, but not much. Not enough. I miss Frankfurt, my kiddos there, the family, my German family, my friends, and being able to get everywhere I wanted to be by walking or by biking. I do not miss the cold which has again contaminated Frankfurt - it's freezing there! But I'm sad to be missing out on playing in the snow with Emily and Oscar. I have visited so many friends since being home, which has been really wonderful. It makes my next decision harder to make. I am working as a PA to family friends, which I love - organizing is right up my ally. I'm meeting with some people in the International Office at PSU next month. I'm interviewing with a school in Frankfurt in February. And yet I still want to go to Thailand, South America, Spain, Hungry, Turkey, and back to Greece and Australia. Thankfully I still have time.
I've been living with Bethany. That is a blessing and a curse as she is a bit... picky. I love the location because then I am closer to a lot of my friends, but further from others. We had a holiday party there last week and it was a lot of fun - especially watching Bethany belt out Christmas songs when we did Karaoke.
Took Amy to the doctor's today so they could remove the 4 screws in her feet. Yuck. Now I just want to bake some goodies.
Still have 5 Milka bars left... look at me go!
