:(

This I will miss about living with Manny:

Discussions about religion and politics
My beautiful yellow/golden room
Always having a place to have dinner
Great coffee in the morning
My wooden wardrobe
Taking the 188 bus for 20 minutes to get anywhere
Eating dinner in the wintergarten
Discussions about Sira being a teenager
The heaters all over the house
The nice neighborhood
Hearing about Wendt, Abassi, and the other neighbors
New flowers in my room every week
The markings on my door from when Sira was like 8
Doing dishes while Manny runs off to watch the Sunday TV program
Frustuck on Sundays that takes up 3 hours
Waiting for the 188 bus b/c my life depended on it
Spending the majority of my travel time in the area of Rathaus Stegelitz
Squeaky floors, doors, floorboards, and doorhandles
The old house with the old double pained windows
The weird toilet and shower curtain
Family shopping time
"Krrrrrristina"
Hearing the latest news about which bar/cafe to go to
...so much more

I can't believe I only have one more week with Manny! :( Its so sad!!

Today we had such an awesome day. Sira came over and we went to Potsdam (finally like he's been talking about since like week 2 of being here) and we meet Andres, Patrick, and Raleigh for the Holland Festival in Postdam which was sooooo nice b/c the weather was sooo hot! I got burned for sure. It was one of the first times in months I've been outside for the whole day and it was lovely! Ah then we came back to the house and all 6 of us had a nice garten dinner outside. The whole thing was so lovely!

Its just so weird that everything is coming to an end! Everyone leaves this Friday or Saturday. So weird. We have finals this week then a goodbye dinner on Thursday and a party on Friday. So sad. I'm going to miss the normalcy of going to Brentanostrasse then at break heading over to Gunter's for coffee then Mensa-ing it, then coming back to Brentanostrasse for whatever reason. I know I'm going to have an amazing and totally different time when I move into my WG and go to the international Freie Uni, but still I'm going to miss Raleigh, Kevin, Danielle, Phil, Kirk and everyone. So crazy. One more week left. Its always in the last few days that you realize you've been taking for granted the great situation you're in. Ah its like what I'd give to have a normal day of school then Manny's for dinner.
