Half a Month

So I finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon, look at me all getting hip with the 21st century... As many others have done before me the point of this blog is to keep any and all who are interested in my life updated as I will be living in another country for about 9 months. I hope this doesn't get too boring for anyone and if it does please let me know. I hope to update this at least once a week but who knows if I'll be able to make this a habit.

Please give me feedback, like if I'm being too boring, havent posted in a while, or am using this as an excuse to not physically talk to anyone anymore, that would be really sad.

So I don't have anything exciting to say, other than the fact that I will be leaving in about two weeks and I am very excited and nervous. I wasn't too thrilled about going earlier this summer since everyone around me at UNDERC was talking about their excitment for the upcoming school year at ND. This was one of my biggest hurdles in signing up for the program and it was depressing me that I won't be on campus for my junior year. The band somehow still thinks that I am marching this year and sent me the music for the first game which also just about killed me since it was all my favorite music. But the more I think about going and now that I'm actually packing and getting things together, I'm starting to get pretty thrilled to start the semester. I honestly think its affecting my health.

I'm also very nervous about the whole German thing too. Even though I'm reading Harry Potter und der Gefangene von Azkaban and watching just about every German film I can get my hands on, this will not help me much with the speaking aspect. Rumor has it the first language professor is a tough Austrian who takes no crap. A big difference from Frau Weber who I had the last two semesters who was pretty much our grandma. I guess only time will tell.
