Where I am, What I'm doing

So, I had this great plan to blog while I am here in Germany, in this small town isolated from pretty much everything.  My arrival and first few weeks here have been ok.  But it is difficult because I feel somewhat isolated.  There is no one around my age to spend time with, at least that I have found, and I have combed through the city fairly thoroughly by now.  It is mostly an older population that is here.  

I started another blog, but I was so confused before I left, that I did not even finish the blogging I was going to do before I left.  Nor have I posted anything to it since my arrival.  This is not good of me, but I think my plans for the near future have changed.

I think the Squirrely Jedi is undergoing a slightly stressful period of change at the moment.  That said, I don't think the separate blog is going to get off the ground.  So I will just be posting here from time to time, when I feel that I have something useful to post.  I have been trying to find ways to improve my German, and that has, to this point, largely involved reading and writing, as I do not see the landlords often, and I have not made any friends in the city yet.

I won't even go into the teaching just yet.  Some of my classes have been ok.  Others have been, well, awful.  But I am slowly figuring things out, and will try to do better.  A break is upon us here, though.  Today is Germany's Reunification Day.  And I have the next two weeks off.  So I am traveling to Berlin and Münster so that I can do my own thing and also meet up with some friends and new acquaintances.  I am looking forward to it, and I leave on Sunday.  

Unfortunately, being separated from the blog a little meant that I almost forgot who I was over the last couple of weeks.  But I was thankfully reminded by German Professor in an email.  So the Squirrely Jedi will continue to post things here from time to time, but at the moment, I haven't figured out quite yet how the blog fits into my daily routine here.  In some ways, it doesn't.  But that does not mean that I do  not miss it.  And that I will not be blogging anymore.  I just have too many things going on in my mind and life right now to feel obligated to daily postings.  So here is the best I can promise.  To post things, in English, when I have the time and something that I want to say.  

Beyond that, right now, I can't say.  It seems I'm undergoing a period of change, and I'm just not sure what's happening to me.
