All went well

Everything went quite smooth with regards to picking up Carsten's mom from the train station.  My bus trip was good, though I forgot to stamp my fare card, thus I rode for free.  I found his mom right away as she stepped off the train and then we took the bus back home.  I gave her a tour of the apartment and the building and then we decided to walk to Carsten's work and surprise him since he was getting done at 5pm.  In the end, this didn't work.  He in fact worked until 7pm, thus causing his mom and I to wander around outside his work for a couple of hours.  We had a nice visit and were able to spend some time together just chatting about this; well, I guess as well as I can chat in German :)  Once we arrived back home I made dinner for the three of us and then we watched some TV.  All-in-all a very good evening.

One of the great things about me having anxiety about this visit is that I was able to push out the fact that I have a big exam tomorrow at school.  I think it should go fine, but normally I would still be quite anxious; however my anxiety about the test is minimal compared to my anxiety about everything going well with this visit.
