So.. I left off with Su and I playing pool. Well we headed back home relatively late at night and made it back to our room. I went to get my computer to upload some pictures only to find it missing...
Bet you were wondering why I haven't updated my blog and why there aren't any pictures... well the answer? My computer was stolen. Needless to say I am not very happy about the situation but I am trying to make the most of it. I spent the entire night turning our room inside out looking for my computer and slept in the living room area with Su to ask the other people on the floor when they woke up if they had seen anything. NO LUCK! Saturday we spent the entire day talking to the police, the people who work in the building and our program director. Still no computer. We thought up some theories as to how someone could take it when it was locked in the room, windows, doors everything and you need a specific chip to get onto the floor where we were staying. It was almost like it had disappeared. Sitting right next to my computer was my passport and credit card not to mention that Su's computer was out in the open along with her camera but only MY computer was missing!!! first my credit card now my computer...
Seems like I'm learning every possible lesson there is to learn on this trip!! I was lucky to have so many people spring into action to help me, though I was extremely frustrated with the people who worked where we were staying. I just hope I can get this situation fixed.
Su and I missed out on going to a museum and back to the German History Museum due to all the commotion. It was such a stressful day..
The best part about this situation was that later that day I got a call from my mom. :)
It was the first time I had litterally spoken to her, besides texts and on the computer and it was amazing to hear her voice and get a taste of home. Needless to say I bawled like a baby haha. I even got to talk to my grandparents and my little brother. Once again we see the very worst of things and it makes us appreciate the very best of things. :)
So in summary. Lock EVERYTHING A BILLION TIMES! and invest in an external hard drive. I lost a lot of data with my computer (like pics from the Jewish museum!) but since I had a hard drive I managed to save a lot more and still have most of my pictures. :)
I've got two more days to go about Berlin so I'm off to write the next one!
Tschüß
