The Vacuum.

Sorry if this one sounds a little too bloggish. But I feel like I need to justify some of my stupid moments since I have been here.

Not only am I experiencing culture shock... I am experiencing the shock of leaving my family, hearing a new language, being new to Europe and European history/common knowledge, and living on my own. 

That's how I justify the fact that I couldn't figure out how to vacuum up the kitchen while trying to help the housekeeper.
