You guys, I know it looks like this blog is turning into a Five Senses Friday-only blog, but I hope you’ll stick around and have a bit of patience as I adjust to my new job and figure out how to balance my life.

Adding to the chaos, last week I signed the rental agreement for a new apartment!  It’s a very cute place in an Altbremer Haus in a great location, so I’m super excited.  But it also means I’m in the midst of packing, organizing the move, and getting all the utilities and such set up in the new place.  Not to mention planning some major furniture/appliance purchases and collecting lots of ideas on my Interior Inspiration board on Pinterest.  You’ll definitely be hearing more from me on this topic!

But in the meantime, here’s a review of the past week according to my senses…

Seeing: Lüneburg’s university for a work meeting.  There was no time for exploring, but it reminded me that I need to take a day or overnight trip there to explore the city during the summer time (my last visit was during Christmas market season).

Hearing: The crack of baseball bats.  Yep, even in this Fußball crazy country, there are a few baseball fields around — one of which happens to lie along one of my favorite running routes.  Even though I’m not a huge baseball fan, the sound of the ball hitting the bat is so rare here that it makes me nostalgic every time I hear it.

Tasting: Currywurst und Pommes for a terribly unhealthy lunch on Tuesday.

Smelling: Musty old packing boxes that have been gathering dust in the cellar for a year and a half.

Feeling: A little extra sweaty during my runs now that summer has decided to arrive in Bremen.

Happy Friday!  How has your week been? Feel free to join in if you would like! And for more Five Senses Friday (or Monday), visit Life Simplistic and Travel with Emily.
