today was my first day of school all over again. my mom always took a picture of my sister and i on our first day, so here it is - aren't i cute? i finally started german classes. whahoo! and now i know, "hallo, mein name ist taryn glidewell. ich komme aus den usa, und ich wohne in starnberg. ich bin neun und zwanzig jahre alt." or somethin like that... the teacher even said i was, and i quote, "advanced". yes. so, i am well on my way to vocalisin' with the locals. it's crazy how international it is here, there are 2 girls from kenya, 1 from poland, 1 from the ukraine, and 1 from bolivia in my class. i can't underestimate how blessed i am to have english as my first language, german is so similar in structure and most people speak it (english) over here.
i think i will have to do quite a bit of studying on my own however as this is only a short summer class and then next semester i will not have time to take another. perhaps i will in the spring - hopefully. it's slow going and i don't want to lose what i (will) have already learned. the best part of all is that it started completely pouring down rain afterwards and i had to ride my bike home in the lightning storm. i looked like a drowned rat.
