Tonight: dinner with Lori at a Mexican restaurant. Just to try it out.

not much to report.
Today: went to post office; bought tank top; fed cats; cleaned litter box; had a lovely chat with the landlord, with him speaking (mostly) German and me not saying much of anything. The amazing thing is how much he was able to communicate to me, despite our utter inability to speak the same language. Very interesting.

I remember such a conversation with a maintenance guy who came to fix my roommate's heater--he didn't speak ANY English, and I'd had about 3 days of Finnish lessons. But we managed to figure out who he was, why he was there, and that I could tell him when I left for school...It was the most amazing feeling to have been able to exchange actual information so successfully. :D Hope you get more and more of those chances!
