Tomorrow marks my first full week of living in Stuttgart. It has seemed much longer than a week, and I'm surprised as I write this that it has only been that short of a time period. It's been quite a busy week with all of my admin stuff as well as trying to catch up to speed with everything going on at work.

I've been living in the Millenium Hotel for the last 6 nights, so I've got quite a ways to go. I reserved a full month, but from what others have been saying, it may be a long time before I find a suitable house or apartment. I think 30 days here at the Millenium won't be too bad, but I don't know how much longer I can stand it after that. It's nice waking up to a breakfast consisting of basically whatever I want, and it's nice always having a clean room. For 6 out of the 7 nights I've been in Stuttgart, I've had dinner at one of the handful of restaurants here at the Millenium complex, and that's quickly becoming one of the major drags. Already I'm not digging having to eat out every night. The 189 Euro/month for 2Gbs of wireless internet is also a huge downer. Damn you Swiss Telecom.

Today marks the last week that I'll be in Charleston before leaving for Germany.  In some ways I was glad that things were slightly delayed because I got to spend time with friends whom I won't be seeing for a while.  This is going to be a hectic week as I have to start packing and finishing up a ton of stuff that I've been meaning to do (and putting off). 

Interesting times....
