Back in Bonn

This morning Dorothea drove me from Wuppertal back to Bonn. It was good to return to my "Heimstadt" (hometown). After moving my stuff into my guest room, I went to say hello to my colleagues in the digital lab. Only two of the four of them where there, but they should all be back on Tuesday. (Monday is a holiday, the Day of German Unity) Within a two minutes of my arrival Klaus decided that they must speak German with me, and I did not argue. Hopefully Andreas and Bernd will follow suit.
I don't feel near as nervous about being in a foreign country as the last time I was here. Part of it is probably that I'm not taking in everything as new. I also feel more confident with my German, and perhaps more importantly, I don't care so much if people can tell I'm not a native speaker.
Anyho! The rest of day I spent in my room. After spending after 24 hours around people, I needed to recharge my introvert meter.
