Hey! I completely know what you are going through...I just moved here 3 weeks ago from the states (oregon). Don't really know too many people besides my boyfriend's friends...We met when we were both studying abroad in Sweden last fall. I graduated with my bachelor's in Business and decided it was time to make the move so here I am. I'm 22, only speak English and definatley have some time to kill as well. I'm also interested in photography. I checked out your pics and love the comment about Coop

We just moved into our apartment in Ostring but I know where Monbijoustrasse is...nice place! If you want to hang out7get to know some people, here's my email:

Oh and I think German (high german first) lessons would def be beneficial. I'm starting them today through uni but Migros does have good classes as well. My boyfriend's mother works there so I'll ask her about them.
Take care!
