Well, hello.

Hello there, everyone. I’m new to LFAD and figured that an introduction was in order. My name’s Ann. I’m 20 and a sophomore at a small liberal arts school in Indiana. My SO is James - that handsome redhead in my avatar. He’s 21 and a senior at said college. So how are we in a LDR?

Well, I’m a German major and spending this semester in Germany and Austria. I’m currently in Berlin, which is about 4415 miles away from him. I do consider myself fairly lucky, as our LDR has a concrete ending date - December 17. And I’m definitely counting down the days (72, for the record).

So, hello. I’m looking forward to offering what advice I can and having a community to rant and complain to.

Wilkommen! Thats great you have an ending date! Until then enjoy Deutschland as much as possible, I spent 18 months there and it was the best time of my life....and where I met my SO!

Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome! Oh God I am so cheesy, kill me now. (Although, one of my favorite musicals)

I was only in Berlin for a weekend, but I absolutely adored it. What a vibrant, interesting city. Have you been to Tacheles yet? It's a huge artists' squat/gallery in Mitte and it's one of the most incredible places I have ever been to in my life. The place is covered floor to ceiling in graffiti and all of the artists there make incredible stuff, and you can watch them do their work--I got into a very interesting conversation with a Brazilian painter who came to Berlin on a whim and uses modern dancers as models, and we talked about life and art and dance for a bit. (I'm a dancer, so this was especially relevant.)

Anyway, wow, tangent, but welcome and enjoy Berlin!
