I returned to Germany last Wednesday night. It was cold as I expected. Everyone here follows the rules. It does get on my nerves a bit.
I was welcomed back to work with a US/Canada breakfast. Pancakes and bacon, yes! And the sad news that Alexa was leaving; she's moving to South Africa.
I stayed at home this weekend. Went to REWE with Anton. We drank a lot of the chai I brought from India.
Sunday there was a Thanksgiving dinner at Alexa's place. I made homemade mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Was nice. Nothing too exciting.
Nelson Mandela died.
Obama took a selfie at his funeral.
Work is work. Not much exciting happening. I have a lot to do, but nothing particularly exciting. Hopefully this will change soon, once I get an intern. Oh yes, and I have yearly reviews up soon.
I've been really lazy and just staying at home everyday, going to bed early (like 9-10pm; maybe still some jet lag?), and not even motivated to unpack and wash all my clothes yet. I still haven't gone to the Christmas Market in the city center. It's just too far away and too cold for me to bike there.
I hate this cold weather. And I wish it would be sunny and just cool (like 10 degrees warmer). But no.
