Distance

I was curious today as to how far away from home I will actually be. My boyfriend has warned me that I need to prepare myself, so here it is: When I have arrived in Bielefeld, I will be 4298.5 from home. Quite a distance. Well, actually that's from Minneapolis, for some reason nobody has time to calculate the distance from small town USA.

This morning I had to wake up extra early for the "special" shift for "special" people to work from 5:30-7:30. I shouldn't complain, money is money! Anyway, I checked my e-mail before my morning stroll to the Poo, and I got an e-mail titled "Room offer in Bielefeld". So, it's the preliminary things, almost the exact information I filled out when I was "reserving" my room back in May, except instead of asking if I wanted an apartment or private room, it already knew that I was looking for private accommodations. I'm not anti-social, let me explain, they have apartments available with five students in each apartment, but the catch is that each student is FOREIGN. My goal is not to travel thousands of miles, across the Atlantic to surround myself with Americans. I am looking for an authentic German experience, so when I get shy and timid, someone, please remind me to go hunting for some Germans, I'm sure they're not as scarce in Bielefeld as they are in Minnesota. So, I am accepting the reservation for my room. I assume that after the 15th of July (the deadline to reply, I already responded today!) I will hear on which building I will be living in and maybe even have an address, a huge load off my back it will be!
