...or at least the water. I've been to a couple of doctors here now trying to sort it out, and it looks like my skin is super sensitive to the extra hard water here in this area of Germany. Even though I've been to D-land a ton before, this region I guess has harder water. I may have had an allergy attack in response to something in my room - this is quite an old building - but now it's made me super sensitive to anything. So I'm banned from using soap and I have to use special detergent. Go figure. But hopefully, finally!, I think I'm getting life here sorted out. Just wanted to update those of you who have been worrying about me.
In other news...I'm still not registered at a Uni, I didn't work much last week at school, and I still haven't organized any kind of volunteer work. So there isn't really much to report.
On the travel front...I am headed to Neuschwanstein on Friday with a small group. We're carpooling there and back (about a 4hr drive). I don't know what the weather will be like, but for the most part it's been mildly sunny, if a little cold.
Also, I'm officially flying home for Christmas break. I will be in Washington DC from Dec 21st through Jan 7th, so all those in the greater VA area, I'll be around! I'm quite looking forward to my future niece or nephew who is expected to arrive some time around the end of December!!!
Okay well that's all from me for now. As always, much love!
