Today began what I hope is a routine to get me back into better physical health, which is always accompanied by better mental energies and I am excited for that. There is an amazing playground nearby my house which I jogged to this morning to use the exercise equipment. The U.S. doesn't have any public exercise machines because it's totally not safe and people are stupid, but I'm so glad I'm in Berlin. I have to photograph this playground though because I cannot do justice to it's awesomeness in description. I don't know the measurements but it consists of a giant net dome structure sealed all but for one section, so you can climb on top into a second chamber about 30 feet high, or play in the ground level area like you are in a big cage. I want to get a soccer ball for that! It overlooks a train platform I can use to get to the Lexia Studio after working out, though I'm not sure how I'll jog with all my stuff. I guess I'll have to adjust my routine, maybe not do it everyday, but either way I'll be improving my wellness. My writing has been inspiring me and I met my photography instructor yesterday. This guy Mark Simon seems pretty good to work with and he's teaching a few of the other returning students a master's level class which I might take if I can fit the hours. Last night I went to a jazz club called A Trane which has free entry mondays and late night jam sessions on Saturdays. There is so much music to be heard in this city. I'm really happy to have established so many good things so early on, as this is the last day of my first week. Exhilirating.
Find me on AIM and we can videochat when I'm online!
