settling in

cultur schock surely worked both ways for me. after about 6 weeks, i feel like i am starting to like the german way of life again. today is a good day. after over a week of daily rain it finally stoppped and despite some remaining clouds it is rather warm.
now there are 2 weeks left for me here in weimar, then i am moving on. michael still tries to ignore the fact that i am leaving soon and in a way i do too. june first will be the beginning of my adult life, it seems. sure i earned my own living before and yes, i have also been places where i did not know anyone (many times actually). however, this is the first 9-5 job for me in a while and i guess i will be quite an adjustment after weeks of traveling and two month in germany of doing whatever i please. the six month of leisure time that i had just for myself are coming to an end, quickly, as i am starting to realize. i am not too worried about the future but sometimes slightly uneasy about this moving into the real adult world--after all, you can not live the student life forever. at least people tell me so. i do wish though, i could do it for just a little while longer. while being in india i have been good at dealing with surprises and even rough changes but who knows if it'll be the same here, in germany.
started to re-read the harry potters, to prepare for the seventh novel HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. by the way i read in the newspaper today that j.k.rowling is planing on another book after that one. apparently the income of the eights book will be donated to charity.
