work week.

hey

wow. first days of work. think about the first time you started your job. got it? good. now think back to all the questions, explanations, introductions and yadda yadda. now think of them in a different language.

thats how my first day went. everything was so fast. BUT to my surprise, i understood more than i thought. the trouble was, some vocabulary you dont learn in school. its so specific to the trade that it would be silly to learn those words. like for example, Invoice. Purchase order. um.. hello. you dont learn these words in another language so soon.

but today was good, i was again in the secretary part helping her then i had to translate their english papers into german, more vocabulary practice. it was good for me to brush up again.
next i went to the sales dept, which is like one room with two guys and an assistant. it was good i got another over view of the company and we discussed some differences between american businesses and germany/europe businesses. it was very interesting. i made some more labels and wrote more emails in GERMAN! ah! fun!

on sunday i went to church. i googled "churches in delmenhorst" and yah, thats what i came up with... haha i emailed the youth lady and she offered to pick me up. it was fun, ALL german of course. and i met some more young people. they seemed nice. maybe i will go back.

this weekend i hope to go to Lueneburg and visit my flatmates and friends there. i am excited. But i am also excited for my return because i will then get to move in! finally! :)

my host parents come home tomrorow. i am excited to see how things might change around here. its like being "home alone" now... the house is a mess and we go out to eat every night... haha
