8 Juni - Done

Today I put the finishing touches on my addition to the book chapter.  I met with Wendelin and he said it was excellent.  Seems strange to have someone write about a literally foreign concept to be published in a book, but I must say I have a very good understanding of how the system works now, which was the original intention as frustrating as it may have been.  In a way, I think it may be a good thing to have the system analyzed by an outsider because there are many facets that Germans might just assume is the norm.  He is sending it off to the guy who requested it for a final review.  Felt good to be done with it though.

Skylar is still adjusting to school here.  He says the kids either love him or hate him.  Often he just reads during recess.  I love that he likes reading so much, but wish he would play more too. At home he is such a social kid, that the difference here worries me.  He whips through books faster than I can order them from Amazon.  I hope to get him involved in a Verein which is like a club or a group, but nothing seems to strike his fancy.  I'm looking into a gymnastics club though.  We'll get it figured out eventually.

Tonight we made pizza with Nora.  It was really good, although a bit messy :)  Then she and I just chatted for a few hours over milk.  I really am lucky that I found a place for so little money in such a nice area with such a great flat mate.  She has been so helpful from translating things for me to answering all my silly questions.
