“Singing Hallelujah with the fear in your heart”
Hey there world:First of all a huge hug and good thoughts to everybody who showed concern for me after my last post. It means the world to me that there are people out there who care for me and love me, and I mean that from the very depths of my heart.
And to answer a very popular question, for the next two months, my mailing address is:Diane Feucht
Goethe Institut Berlin
Neue Schönhauser Str. 20
10178 Berlin
Germany
Second of all, the song that is playing is from Arcade Fire’s latest CD “Neon Bible” … that I haven’t really bothered listening to this CD until I came to Germany. I was slightly disappointed - currently there are really only two songs I connect with (I am amazed by every song in their CD “Funeral”.) However, I was blown away by “intervention”, hence it is the song of the week. Got to love the random use of an organ. Kudos to you, Arcade Fire. Big kudos. 
Since the last time I posted, I haven’t done too much. I have met a couple people, but I am still very glad to have Andrea.
Howevever, what is really exciting for me is that my Senior Art show is up in Sioux Center, Iowa, and Professor Van Wyk was kind enough to send us some photos! My sister, Rachel, attended the reception for me, and I’ll have some stuff to show from her later.
Here is the show! (artwork by me, aaron huisman, dave schierbeek, mary van essen, mallory mcconnell, and matthew berkenpas)
I am glad that a lot of my stuff managed to make it in the show, and I even received a couple of emails of people interesting in buying some things. It is a good feeling to have my work in public! Not only that, but I am proud of my fellow students - it looks like a very good combined show.
Anyways, I don’t have much else to say, I am very hungry, and I have become very addicted to a certain restaurant in Berlin. I think the waiters are starting to recognize me… shoot!
Well, bis später, Diane

Glad your friend arrived safely in Berlin. Have a great time on you journey into East Germany. Dad and I really enjoyed visiting Erfurt and Weimar. Talk to you when you get back to Berlin. MOM

Mein Computer war kaputt.Deshalb konnte ich heute erst sehen,dass
1.Bilder von dir in einer Ausstellung hängen
2.sich schon Käufer dafür interessieren.
Ich kann nur sagen:Toll!Das ist ja der Wahnsinn!!!
Vor allem freut es mich aber,dass du nicht mehr ganz so traurig klingst.!!!!!!!!
Denke daran:Du hast hier in Deutschland auch ältere Leute,bei denen du Hilfe finden kannst,wenn du dich schlecht fühlst.
Wir beide kennen uns zwar nicht persönlich,aber für mich ist das kein Problem,denn:
Ich habe viel Nettes von Hilde und Herbert über dich,… gehört.und das ist für mich ausreichend!
-ich wollte dir in einer Email Bilder von uns 3 (Mann,Hund und mir) schicken,damit du wenigstens weißt,wie wir aussehen.
Aber nach der Reparatur des Computers ist leider auch deine Emailadresse verschwunden.-
Mach weiter wie bisher!
Deine Katja
