Whoops!

     It's interesting to me how one can fall in love love with a place so quickly. Heidelberg, a city of romance, certainly has put me under its spell.   It encompasses all the things I love (a.k.a. great food, warmth, water, and shopping) into one big, yet quaint city! As excited as I am for the clinical work next week, I am not exactly keen on leaving Heidelberg.  I am also sad about leaving the roommates I've grown so fond of over the past two weeks.  However, I know Ruby and I will have lots of fun as well.
     Over everything else, I believe that this trip is teaching me about myself. For one,  my time in Germany is  continuing to reinforce just how directionally challenged I am.  For example, I still do not know my way from our apartment to the train station! I also need to work on remembering where I put things, because this trip is truly teaching me that I always forget where things are.  This is not a good things!  This trip has also opened my eyes to the fact that I eat a lot.  Just plain and simple.  I do not know how I am not a fat cow at this point in my life, because i'm pretty sure I out eat everyone in my apartment.  In saying this, I am very thankful for the biking we do which helps to burn off all the delicious calories I consume each day.
   The most important thing I have learned about myself so far, overall, is that I am quite adaptable.  Not to "toot my own horn" or anything, but I think I adjusted to Germany pretty well for someone who has never been farther away from home than Canada.  I didn't even suffer through intense jet lag! My adaptability has also aided me in being able to make friends here. I love how fast we all came to know each other as a group, and in such a short time I have made some amazing friends. (:
