Down to the wire

Now that I only have two weeks left in the U.S. its getting kinda hectic. My going away party is this week and then its school and i`m trying to hang out with everybody and i only have one week left at subway. its also odd to hear everybody say that they will miss you. There is now a mountain of clothes and stuff sitting in the spare room of the stuff that i need to pack for my trip. All in all its all coming together rather quickly.

Counting Down

I now have the date for my departure! I am going to be in Washinton D.C. on September 7th. I`l have my Gateway Orientation for three days, then on the 10th I`l be on a plane to Germany! I still don`t know who my host family is going to be or where I am going to be placed. Can`t wait til this all comes together.

The Preperation

I started Culture Trek today. It has a ton of great info. I also started reading the paper again. The way that i figure it is that I will probably be reading the paper in Germany and watching the news.

The Start of a Long Journey.

Hi everyone,

Well the start of this trip started a little late. I got the news of my scholarship about two months after I was told that I was going to find out. But hey, I'm still going to Germany! So far all I know is that I leave the week of Labor Day! :-D
