As of last night, Arran and I have settled into our first German home in Oranienburg, Brandenburg!
My Betreungslehrerin (the teacher at my school that I will work with), Petra, and her husband, Klaus, picked Arran and I up from the Berlin main trainstation and brought us back to their home, where we will be staying until we find our own apartment. We have our own bedroom and living room area, which is beautifully decorated with Ikea products (how German!), and which is very cozy and comfortable. Last night we had dinner (peppers stuffed with ground beef, sauteed vegetables, and potatoes) and dessert ( fruit and ice cream) and then sat around and talked. Petra and Klaus are extremely nice and we both enjoyed talking to them about things ranging from the teaching assistant orientation we just came from, dialects through out the country, and the kind of work Arran and I will be doing during our time in Germany. This morning we both were able to sleep in (for the first time since we got here!) and later in the afternoon Petra is going to take us on a walk to show us Oranienburg and do some errands (like set up a bank account!).
So all in all, we've been having a great time :)
