So I'm back in Hamburg. It's great to be back. Having the chance to go back to Amman in the Summer was like hitting refresh button! Mentally, physically, emotionally! The highlights I would say were the beautiful Sun, bumming on my couch at home for a week, eating something arabic everyday, and laughing with friends and family.
But now I'm back and about a third way through the semester already!!!
When I first got back I spent the first 2 weeks furnishing my room, orientating financials, and fixing my schedule for uni and my job. Those two weeks were not easy. But it was the most important phase and now I can stroll through my days without thinking.
Things that are different this time...:
My Schedule:
I work 19 hours a week split among 3 days and 4 days of the week I have classes. I have gym class at least 3 days a week and on the weekends I try to work on uni homework and prepare for the next week.
My Interests:
Living with a local makes the experience much more personal! This is the second WG for me and they have been both enriching experiences so far. My flatmate gives me tips on all the best food, markets, book stores, tea shops, shopping, galleries and opennings! Hence openning my eyes to details I didn't pay attention to before.
My Goals:
To gain as much as I can in the little time I have left and think about whats coming up next.
My Expectations:
To do what I came back to do and go back to Amman and finish my final year! Because I've already been through the year, this time I know how fast time flies and therefore am really trying to benefit from the time on hand.
A part of me feels like home here and another part of me that knows home is ready to go back and graduate :)
Bis zum naechsten Post!
Cheerio!
