Einz

Here is my horoscope for tomorrow: "When was the last time you walked on the wild side? Make a date with destiny today."

And indeed I will.

One day left, folks.

Three Days-- Or is it Two? Zwei oder Drei

Packing issues. Ugh. I feel like I'm taking the bare minimum, and yet I still want and need to leave stuff here. Ich weiss nicht! Waaaah!

So. We've got the rest of today, and tomorrow, and Monday, and then I leavest upon Tuesday morning. Well, technically, Tuesday afternoon, since I leave at something like 12:23.

Whatever. Packing left me in a bad mood. Tonight, dinner at Cracker Barrel (my choice, because I feel like it), tomorrow, chicken on the grill and eaten on the deck. It's beautiful outside.

Getting Down to the Wire

Well, folks. Here we are. I have tonight, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and I leave Tuesday just past noon. Two legs: ATL to Newark, and then Newark to that beautiful city Munich. Well, I'm guessing it's beautiful. It'd better be, all the money I'm paying to get there. (I kid, I kid.)

I got a new pair of cute glasses today, although they're a slightly newer perscription and making me a little sick. I also took my cat Lucky to the vet; he wasn't so lucky and had a thorn stuck in his paw plus a broken toe and got himself gassed to sleep while they took an X-ray. Poor baby. He does look funny, trying to walk with one leg all bandaged up.

I still don't have a pair of flats. Whatev. I'm pretty okay about it. I'm ready to get this show on the road, and then at the same time I'm not. What shall I do? Have the time of my life?

Only thing to do.

Oh! My sister finally got engaged! Random, I know, but I am quite excited. Bridesmaid dress-ville, here I come.

16 Days and Counting!!

I got my Ugg knock-offs-- and they are so beautiful! I can even stuff my jeans inside them. Perfection. I've got two new bottles of Witch Hazel to take me with-- to clean my face with, ya know. Hairdryer, about ten scarves, six pairs of leggings/tights.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to do a preliminary packing-of-the-suitcase, just to see how I stand. I think I'm going to be following this list here, for the most part: http://voiceoftruth.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/basic-packing-list-for-study-abroad/. I may make a few changes, but I'm going to print it off right now so I can do some packing in the morning. I think, also, after the packing, I will move some of the huge plastic tubs that have taken up residence in my room down to the basement. Who knows? I may have something in them I need. No point in moving them and freaking out: "Where is [such-and-such]? I can't find it!!!"

Heading back up to school on Wednesday! Voice lesson with new teacher, help people move in, say goodbye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nuxp8Rgryk

22 days and counting

I am counting. And how! Many things to do, including find a pair of boots (Ugg knock-offs), visit friends and say goodbye, clean room so parents don't go berserk after I leave when they're painting said room, finish up my last week of work (done this Saturday! No more employee discount. But I shall return at Christmastime), etc., etc.

Where does time go? Wasn't it only yesterday that it was May, and I was composing Zelda pieces for Billy Valentine? And I was bemoaning the fact that I had to wait for an entire summer before I absconded to Europe? And now I am rushing around to get the last few things, like more rechargable batteries, and worrying if my laptop will survive the flight in just a little sleeve, and worrying if my laptop will even fit into my carry-on bookbag. Also, will taking a lot of black clothes suffice? And: I am not studying German. At all. Oops.

Enough of this. I need to go fill Deborah, my car, with gas, and get a haircut. Perhaps get those batteries.
