I moved to Berlin beginning of last week. My apartment looks more and more like a "real" apartment now. But I still don't have a bed.  I hope they're hurrying up at IKEA a little! Last weekend my parents came (because my Dad was flying back to China) and they brought me most of the rest of my things. So now I can also watch TV and have an internet connection. It was quite boring the first couple of days here without TV or internet. But luckily I still had enough things to do, like seeing the doctor and physio therapist... If you want to see my apartment, here you go :

As you can see, it's quite far from being perfect, but I don't have everything yet and I am not absolutely healthy, so to say.

Yesterday we had some kind of "welcome meeting" for my master's program. They gave us tons of information!  I think it'll take me a couple of days to figure everything out and sort out the most important things I still have to do. But I hope I'll be all set for the first semester by next week when it starts.  I think I have all the courses I want/have to take this semester and hope everything works out fine. What I thought was "really nice" yesterday at the meeting was that they warned the people who never studied in Germany before (like me) that one has to get used to studying in Germany... Oh thank you...

Today I will go home. It's my Mum's birthday on Saturday. But she doesn't know yet that I'll come home.  I'm really looking forward to her face when I ring the doorbell tonight.  My sister will come home tomorrow, so it's gonna be a little family gathering.
Today the train drivers were supposed to go on strike, but I am REALLY, REALLY happy that they don't. Otherwise it would have been written in the stars if I would have ever made it home today. I hope my sister doesn't get any problems when she's coming home tomorrow because they said they want to go on strike tomorrow...  Well, we'll see.
