Entry 12: Hallo Hallo!

I’m in Berlin!

Grandma Hermie and I have been here for 5 days, and we are having the time of our lives. Well, she is. I am having the time of my life as well as I can translate from German to English.

Hermie, of course, has reverted to speaking all German, all the time. I can understand her about 50% of the time, but that may be because she is kind enough to slow down her speech for me. I’ve gone out to the clubs a few times (Don’t worry, David!), and everyone thinks I’m German. It’s hard enough to understand German sober…

Anyway, I’ve got some news I want to share. I started taking Ambien again. Sorry David! I swear it is just for the trip. All the jet lag, plus being away from my bed, and not having my boyfriend to help me sleep… well, it’s all been very stressful. I fell asleep at lunch in front of Hermie. That is when I knew it was silly to deny myself sleep.

I don’t think it’s a big deal. When I get back to America I won’t take Ambien. I just need it right now to help me get through this trip.

Alright, I’ve got lots more sightseeing to do. I’ve got some clubs to go to as well. This should be fun. I’ll post pictures later!
