I'd be lying if I told you that I jump out of bed in the morning, ready for another day of class. Although I enjoy attending school, I would far prefer to stay in my comfortable bed, in my comfortable apartment, with hot tea and a good book, than start the commute to school in the morning, sometimes having to squeeze onto a crowded tram with other students and workers, or run to catch the tram last minute. However, I have discovered something that I think will help: Die Commutemusik (a word I invented, inspired by German compound words). I listened to 'Magic of Ireland' this morning, which helped me relax in the midst of the crowd. It also helps set the tone for the morning/day. At different times of the day I listen to different albums. I guess most people my age wouldn't find this idea so novel, but I have never been one to just listen to music, so it's fairly new to me!
Day two of class was interesting. It is always tiring to get into a new routine, but this time I also have to adjust to different teaching styles! We have a new German professor for the semester, and she did not speak a sentence in English the entire time! Ahh! I feel like I probably only understood about 1/3 of what she said. I will have to constantly pay attention to have any clue what is going on.
I was able to get a nap in today after work and before I had to be back at IES for my psychology class, which was much needed, and I am looking forward to having the morning off tomorrow!
That is all for now!
