Pluses and Minuses

So, I am in Germany. Feeling very alone and overwhelmed. Here's a breakdown of pluses and minuses in my first two days in Deutschland.

+ Got picked up from the airport, and made it to my apartment in one piece
+ Despite a cold/grey/rainy start (minus), yesterday ended up sunny and mild
+ Met two people at a party last night that I really should have met long ago.
+ Unexpectedly ran into some friendly acquaintances at the same party
+ Bought a smartphone (my first)

- Feeling very isolated and out of place because I don't speak German. This won't really be remedied until my German course in September.
- Things are really expensive here, and I can't use my credit card anywhere because they require cards with some sort of chip, which US cards lack.
- Found out I can't apply for permanent residency without certain paperwork which I won't get until September.
- Even sorting trash is confusing here (5 separate bins!)
- Was supposed to get 6 months free internet on my Smartphone, but only was given one.
