Living in Cloud Nine

The past week has been rather rainy and drizzly here in Germany.  Personally, I wish the sun would return, it has actually rained every single day for the past week.  But, I knew that rained a lot in Germany when I signed up to study abroad here.  

Last week, I woke up one day and looked out my window only to realize that I couldn't see anything,  literally anything.  My first thought immediatedly went to that I was now blind.  The logical part of my brain quickly assured me that was not the case because if I was in fact blind I wouldn't have been able to see my desk and window.  

The next option I came up with was that I had been abducted by aliens and they had just lifted my entire room off of the building and I was now flying with them through outerspace as they took me back to their home planet to run tests on me.  

Thankfully, that second option wasn't it either.  In reality, I was just living in a cloud.  Being on top of the mountian means that I am a lot closer to the clouds than the citizens of Tuebingen who live down in the town.  Every morning last week, I woke up to find my room enveloped in a white mist.  Sometimes I could see a little ways through the mist and was able to distinguish the ghostly outlines of the other buildings, sometimes not.  Most times I couldn't see the top of the tall buildings, they just slowly disappeared into the sky.  After the initial shock of not being able to see anything, I have come to enjoy living in the clouds.
