I am sitting at work, waiting for a phone call to see if I have some patients to work with before the end of the day. Yes, I have FINALLY moved onto some hands on work. I have all of the equipment I need...am still testing some of it out, but it involves working with people. I am so happy to finally be into this phase.
So it's February. I have been here over 5 months. In total, I have lived here a year now. I feel completely at home here. There are things I miss about California (and Oregon), but when I was there, there were things I missed about Germany...about Würzburg.
The semester is finally over, which means focusing my time and energy to my project. It is still not moving quickly, but at least with each patient, I can see something quantitative that I have accomplished. It's something. My co-worker leaves in the next two weeks for Italy, but I leave on Friday with Inga for Ireland! So these next few days I hope to get a lot done.
Since I have been playing basketball here, we have had 4 games. We lost the first, but won the past 3. We won yesterday's game by two points! (Although I was frustrated with myself, as I had 4 free throws at the end...and only made one...at least the outcome was still in our favor, or else I would have felt really bad.) I am really happy to be playing again and have found a group of awesome girls to play with.
Inga and I fly to England on Friday! I am so excited for a vacation and to see something new. The flight is about as long as that between Sacramento and Portland. It is so crazy to think about how close everything here is, in comparison to the States.
Anyways, here are some more photos from January...random shopping trip in Nürnberg and ice skating. There will be lots more photos to come after the return from Ireland...
