Hello Hamburg

My first week in Hamburg is almost over and a lot has already happened!

On the first of April I drove up north (1) at six in the morning. The first two hours I drove were going by so slow...and even the km...I thought I would have left some more km behind me, I guess my mind was playing some tricks… The traffic was non-existing and so my body was half a sleep. And because I didn't get much sleep last my body was in much need of caffeine... The caffeine helped and also the animals I saw along the road!;) It was almost 12pm when I arrived (2) and got my keys for the apartment. The building I am going to live in (3) is really nice but as usual the picture online was a bit better than the original...But the room (4) is really nice and big...and that’s where I live in not the building, right!? I got settled into the apartment and the next day I went to the university for the first time. I have to use the subway but I don't mind! After 25 minutes (subway) and a 15 minute walk I was there for the first class...it was an orientation class. Thanks to that I know what to do this semester!;) I tried to sign in for my classes but it was not really working so I had to contact some people...nobody quite knew what the problem was...how I love internet platforms for class (STiNE), NOT!! My first class this week was not until Thursday...but that went rather difficult because it's a German sign language class and the signs used are so different from the ones I learned. But I had a lot of fun and hope I'll catch up fast!;) Monday evening (first day) was also a test on how good my English is, which I need to pass (B2 or C1 level) if I want to take English classes. (I got the results on Thursday...C1...yayy) And the lecture room was soo big (5)…that's how it supposed to be and everybody thinks about one!!

Going to university and getting some groceries (7 yay we have STAPLES... I love it!!!) were the only things I did this week. I am still kind of stressed out from the last couple of weeks that I just relaxed at home if I didn't had to go to school. But next weekend will an weekend on exploring Hamburg!!!;) But campus is rather large and so I already got to see some of Hamburg (6/8). 

My last stop for the week was at the library for sign language (9) to get a book for class. It's the library with the most books on sign language...that's my place to be for the upcoming semesters!;)
