...
the days are getting by a little easier now. everyday i speak more and more german and get a little bit more comfortable with it. not that i speak well by any means, but i'm trying and will hopefully learn fast. here they have something called a dortmund double, which are two students that are assigned to one international student to help them around the city and the university. i met mine for the first time yesterday. they were really cool! all of the international students and there doubles met up for italian ice cream yesterday and my doubles and i spoke german the entire time. i found out later that all the other american students had been speaking english the entire time. so i'm proud of myself for stepping out of the box. it feels kinda cool, but hard to explain. my doubles have an extra tv that they are going to let me use which will be cool also. i think it will help with my german.

Do you have any intensive language program or anything or do you just enroll in regular classes right away? Your school seems really helpful though so that is good.
I don't know if we would know anything at all about what is going on if we didn't have help from our host university. The U of U international center seemed to fall a little short I thought.
I'm glad you started writing on your blog again it's nice to see what you are going through too!
Viel Glück!
