I continue to discover that it's a bit of a hassle to move to a new country. Who would have guessed? The fact that I am at all surprised by this only goes to show how unprepared I was for this move; how little I allowed myself to think about it, which is strange, given that I'm usually such a type-A personality. However, I now have an empty German bank account, and I've registered with the town, which is the first step towards getting a visa for the year. I remain frustrated because I have not gotten reply emails from the people from whom I tried to purchase health insurance, nor from the Humboldt foundation, who I emailed about my language course. Sigh. I suspect I will have to make phone calls, but I also suspect that will not be easy, given my lack of spoken German.

In more positive news, we've gotten a bit of sunny weather, at least. And walking up and down these hills is going to have me in great shape. :)
