Weihnachten is coming. No Thanksgiving in Germany. We're playing christmas songs! I'm really feeling quite okay right now. I was in a little bit of a slump for the last couple days, and I'm still working on climbing out of it now, but in this moment, I feel okay.

Not sure if I've said this before, but I've deleted practically every social media. There is nothing on my phone that gives any entertainment value. This means my phone is now purely a means of communication. Its changed the way I use it fundamentally. I feel I have more time in my day, and I dont have to worry about falling into the trap of just scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling and scrolling, and scrolling.

It's also made me really realize how much of an addiction all of this easy entertainment is. I'm genuinely struggling trying to wean myself off of this.

For now I still have been spending more time on my computer wasting time purely because I lost the ability to just rot on my phone. So now my mission is to reduce my computer usage!

Anyway, Germany. Everything's mostly stayed the same. Tomorrow I'm baking with my exchange student friend from Taiwan, and this weekend, I'm traveling to Seigen, (new city for me) to go buy some clothing essentials with another exchange student friend. Unrelated, but I've also been thinking I should start trying to write some of my journal entries in full german. I know I have the

vocabulary for it, and anything I dont know I can just translate, and then I learn a new word! It seems like a real smart idea for language learning.

speaking of that, I realized I really am getting somewhere, and I'm only what, like 3 months into this exchange? Its interesting how it just kind of creeps up on you. My internal monologue is mostly german now too.

Okay I've really got to go to bed. Somethings wrong with my css, but I cant fix it right now, the spacing is all messed up, forgive for the weird text spacing. Bye!
