And I'm here! :)

I landed in Berlin, Germany today at the Tegel Airport around noon.  I thankfully got both of my checked bags from the baggage claim without any trouble.  I'm oh so tired though.  I've never been able to sleep in a desk or airplane seat or anything that isn't a comfortable couch or a bed.  I knew I should've just brought some Benedryl to knock myself out for several hours! But oh well, too late now. 

The part of Berlin, Pankow, where my sister has lived for two years now is so much nicer than Schoneberg, where she lived temporarily when she first got here.  I know that well because I lived in Schoneberg with her and her two boys at the beginning of her move here, when she was figuring out where she and the rest of her family would be permanently living.  Pankow is very family friendly and has lots of fun shops and markets and parks.  Well those are pretty much all over the city but it's just really enjoyable here.  I'm really excited to start language school in August or September.  I just hope I don't get a gross Germany accent, jk ;) 

Gosh, as I'm writing this, I'm about to fall asleep.  After being awake for about 24 hours plus feeling the strong effects of jet lag, I'm EXHAUSTED.  But soon I'll be used to the different time and move into my new life here in Germany! :)
