August

So June was the month that I saw a lot of Germany, got used to living in my dorm, was still in the beginning stages of my internship, and tried really hard to meet as many people as I could (around campus, at work, on the train, etc). July was the month that I traveled and went out a ton, and hung out with (but also said goodbye to) the really good friends I made. August is a weird month, maybe the month that lots of people visited me. Right now Claire, a friend from UCLA, is staying with me for 6 days. We actually met at freshman orientation, and her home is in San Marcos, about a ten minute drive away from mine. Claire arrived in Stuttgart yesterday, and so far we've been trading travel stories, eating yummy food, and tomorrow we're going hiking together in the Black Forest! Mostly we've actually been talking a lot... about flings. In Germany. With non-German boys. We're actually in really similar situations and it's nice to have somebody to just talk and gripe and gossip to.
