So I have already discovered one thing about myself. (I kind of already knew this about myself, but two days here and I am positively sure of it.)
I am a total social butterfly.
I hate not knowing anyone here my age, and I just wonder around the streets on my own. Yes I know I know, it is VERY early in the trip and I am sure I will meet people down the road, but it's so hard here now because I am comparing this trip to last year's trip to Vienna, where I had ten other students with me who were all in the same boat. And I LOVED that group of people.
But here, I am truly on my own. Which I knew was the condition. But still, it's tough when all you want to do is talk to people and have some friends. And I am not shy, I am outgoing, but it's tough to just go up to people on the street and start talking to them. Especially in another language.
Things will get better, I know. Right now it's just a point of frustration. And one that I hope goes away sooner than later...

Dear Brenna,
ReplyDeleteOnce you start at the Uni, you'll solve this problem. We found that you need common activities to meet people in Germany, then the flood gates open as friend leads to other friends. Use the Uni as your gateway.
love,
Dad
