I wanted to write a long update this weekend, and now I am really not in the mood to. I am not sure what I would write about anyway, though. I have been having a lot of things on my mind lately, and most I am really not comfortable sharing at this point, not publicly, as I know not everyone who reads this is a friend of mine. I think I will actually try keeping a paper journal again as there are so many things on my mind and writing does help, but not on here. I am sorry this is so vague, and yes, something is wrong, but not something totally horrible, so please don’t worry. I am just having a hard time adjusting to life here, or rather, people here, not knowing anyone here, etc, if you have ever moved to a foreign country where you don’t know anyone by yourself, you know what I am talking about, and then the issues with my housing situation… I try to be positive but it is a bit overwhelming at times and today is such a day.

Anyway, on to more positive things:

- I finally got my Zwischenprüfung. I am not sure which grade I got, as my friend who handled all this for me forgot to tell me which grade I got in that one class that was still missing for the ZP but I passed it and she applied for the ZP for me and everything went well, so she can pick it up for me next week and she will mail it to my house in Munich. This is a big relief, it took me way too long to write the termpaper for it, so I dragged that stress on forever, and now it is finally gone, which is good (especially considering I have plenty of other things to worry about here). I am so thankful my friend took care of all this for me, don’t know what I would have done without her! (Sheela, thanks again, sweetie!)

- Last weekend when Tina was here was great. I saw so much of Barcelona, most of the places I hadn’t actually seen before, and that was really nice. I also enjoyed spending some time with Tina as we hadn’t seen each other in almost half a year. We went to see the Gaudí houses, Park Güell, Parc de la Ciutadella, Gracía, Sagrada Familia, the Ramblas,Barri Gòtic, Montjuic, … It was the Feste de la Mercé that weekend, the city’s patron, which is the biggest fiesta of all year in Barcelona, and the city was so crowded. We missed out on most of the Mercé activities, but we did see the castellers, people who build “towers” by climbing on top of each other, which was really cool. I took loads of pictures which you can see here: click. The pictures aren’t labeled yet, but I will also try to make another post with some of my favorite pictures and more impressions from that weekend sometime.

Well, I will end this here, I feel a bit drained… sorry this is such a short-ish update, I hope I will get to write more again when I feel a bit better and more positive.
