das Leben tut WG

It was a blissful month of visiting friends and family in Germany, but now it's time to head out on my own and be selbständig. After searching frantically for a place to live (sounds dramatic, doesn't it?), zee Eentehrnet led me to a Wohngemeinschaft (WG) in the quaint town of Sankt Ingbert, just outside of Saarbrücken. It's an apartment just above a bakery, so the habit I developed at Markley Hall of walking downstairs for a fresh(ish) breakfast need not be broken.

My WGmates (wait, that sounded wrong) are Jens and Tobias. They are studying informatics and mechatronics at Uni Saarbrücken and put up with my clueless, foreign self. Very nice guys. Over the next two months, we will endure the independant student life, with its joys (par-tay!) and struggles (Abendessen?), ultimately forging an unbreakable Germanic alliance.
