NEW LIFE!

First day.

It is 7:00pm and I’m feeling tired. Watched two movies in the plane, slept for a while, ate, got off the plane made my way to pick up the luggage, found my driver (who was actually a driver for the company). Never thought that I would get picked up at a place in a MERCEDES and that someone would open the car door and put my luggage in the car! It was exciting! Haha well it was exciting cause it was this nice gray Mercedes benz, one of the newest models. We talked and one of the questions he asked was: do you like to go fast, or slow? He was already going 120 km/h! well I said fast! I don’t know why! Hahaha so he moved to the farthest left lane and sped up. We were going 220Km/h!!!! I thought I was going to die! We were going sooo fast. Well piked up the keys at the company’s gate, proceeded to my “flat” where the driver dropped me off. Went upstairs, since I leave on the second floor in this really nice apartment, which has a TV, two couches, a dining table, a HUGE bed, kitchen, bathroom and yeah pretty much everything, including a balcony that faces the neighborhood. I also have a window that faces some houses with mountains (vineyards) on the background, it’s quite the view.
My boss picked me up at 1:00pm went to his house talked for about 5 hours! (don’t ask me how we talked for that long…) we ate cake, drank coffee (I don’t usually drink coffee) but I did cause I don’t like being impolite and saying no to everything offered. Well then headed back to the apartment where I am sitting on the couch. The weather is 35C so not too hot it’s a good day, they said today was an unusual hot day… I hear kids playing out on the street, and dogs barking. My fridge has butter, cheese and jelly. They don’t open any stores on Sundays here, so I have to wait until tomorrow to go get food.
Well friends/family hope you enjoyed my first post. More to come.
Ps. It’s my dad’s birthday so I wanted to add: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, LOVE YOUWITH ALL OF MY HEART!

Second day and third day:

Getting to work early was not as hard as I thought. Thinking that I was going to get up at 6:45am which would be 12:45am (Michigan time) was a great feeling. Work has been good, I haven’t done much, well I did a recrystallization process today, it was fine. Everything I do is kind of nerve-racking since I don’t know the exact way they want me to do things. I will be doing things I did in Ochem lab during the school year, so I’m glad that I did like Ochem lab at school.
I have been going to bed early every day, before 10:30 every night. I had been waiting for this for A LONG TIME! Since the past 5 weeks at school was more like: “YAY I get to sleep for an hour today”… No more of that here. CNN is the only thing I can watch on TV, well it’s the only English channel so I am well informed of what goes on out there now (something I don’t do in US). BI (Boehringer Ingelheim) is a great place, people are nice, food is awesome at the cafeteria and it is not that expensive there.
On the other hand, I went to the store today cause I needed food, and I found a cup of noodles for 1.29Euro!!! can you believe that? So no way I’m buying that here.
Well hope you all are having a great time in US, I’m having a good time here in Germany, I’ve seen almost all of Engelheim, since I walked for another two hours yesterday. Well now I have a bike so I’m able to get to work faster.
