Monday: up at 7.30, work, home at 6ish, dinner, normally skype someone or watch a film (in English, sorry not sorry)
Tuesday: work, leave a bit early, go to cheer (I have never managed to be on time, either because I don't leave on time, or because public transport is a persistent bane of my life), come home about 7.30, eat and collapse.
Wednesday: same as Monday ;)
Thursday: work, then Jugendkreis in Bad Soden. At youth we sing songs in English or German and then do a little Bible study.. it's really cute! Then someone gives me a lift to the train station, or sometimes even all the way home! Get home at like 10... I have a fairly strict 11pm bedtime, otherwise I am a horrible person the next day.
Friday: work, and now cheer in the evenings.
Saturdays: I can do whatever I want! But I am a tired lady.
Sunday: I now go to church at 4pm, which is great.
Free time activities including constantly being on public transport or having just missed something and having to wait...BUT I now have a bike! So hopefully these dog days are over... The amount of times I have massive panics because of being late etc is unreal (reference: the need for a river of calm when I missed the train to my friend's church http://instagram.com/p/sovtGuLe3G/?modal=true). Another day I missed it again (I'm a slow learner), so I decided to go into town... wow do they take being closed on Sundays seriously. Literally NOTHING. I did go to a quirky little coffee shop near the cathedral though, and then showed a lovely Portuguese woman to the train station. I'm a local don't you know.
Then again, I did make a completely rookie error of going shopping on the Zeil on a Saturday afternoon. It was horrible and exhausting and I impulse bought shoes. In Primark. Oh the shame. I've been researching vintage shops so hoping to go a bit off the beaten track soon.
Otherwise in terms of shopping, I have been to Wertheim village, which is in the same chain as Kildare village down south. Probably even more expensive and there was no Jack Wills! But it was a nice look round, and good to get a few hours away from Frankfurt!
This post is completely disordered.
Cheer is going well- but it has been really hot these past few weeks so just feeling a bit under power. I miss Ruby boobies, and uni and friends, which I really did not think I would. I definitely do not miss studying. I love work- thank the Lord!
I've made a few friends from cheer which is cool- last week I was at a birthday party and this week I was building a wardrobe! Everyone is really nice and gets my situation (both lingual and social!).
Last Sunday I ran 5k. It was so hot, and therefore I feel it was even harder than the LURADV 10km. The runner's high did not come. But it was a nice run around Museumsufer, and half a day with my new cheeries!
In terms of church, I've been going to Frankfurt City Church for the past two weeks. I haven't talked to many people yet, but I really like the worship and the teaching.
Yesterday, I met up with a couple of Erasmus people which was cool. It was interesting because they had all been in Frankfurt for like two weeks and under. It was weird to be the one to tell them that everything gets better, even though I don't think I'm out of this übergangsphase (transition phase) yet. I think it will take a while. I am still getting lost and saying the wrong thing. In saying that, I know I have come far already, and have adjusted reasonably well. I have learnt new words, invented some of my own and drunk a lot of Wasser mit Kohlensäure! I also now don't thank the bus driver, even when I get off at his side :( need to try harder to remember! Sometimes UK customs are just better..!
