Round here..

11:30. Wow, I'm tired. Seriously, this week was awe-to-the-some but really exhausting as well. I went shopping this weekend in Arlington and DC with another German volunteer, it was great. Yeeeah DC for the first time in my life(and most-definitely not the last time), I love the District of Columbia! On the picture under this post we can see...okay it is self-explanatory, best wishes from Barack!
I bought a basketball and clothes, these things were much needed, "Urban Outfitters" is an awesome store, hopefully I will see one in Germany when I'm back. I love my new TMNT-shirt, haha!
 Today I also went to the so called "Thomas Jefferson Community Center" and set up a contract for one year, now I'm able to use the gym, play soccer/football/baseball/whatever and play basketball pickup games as often as I want to. That's great, yeah! And for all my German friends: basketball over here is T O U G H! I went into the gym, locked my things and started playing with peeps around 16-22, 5v5, and even though I was one of the tallest/oldest, they were at the same level as I am right now(it was kinda disappointing...) but still it was so much fun! I am motivated to get better and improve my skills.. tomorrow night again, ouh yeah!
I love the USA!
Excuse my confusing writing tonight.. fatigue is killin' me. And I have to get up at 6am tomorrow.. dang.
The time that I've been here feels like an eternity, though I've only been here like 17 days now. Sometimes I feel like missing Germany very much, especially the fresh air, but then I discover new amazing stuff about America, exciting big things are yet to come!
Oh I forgot to send all my regards to L'Arche! You are awesome, I'm glad living in such a great community, lovely people everywhere. Now I will use the sparse time to listen to my new favourite band, the Counting Crows!
Family, dog, friends, weird internet-users: I miss and love you all!
Rooound here!
