It's Almost Time!

I can't believe I am a mere six days away from my big move. It's been a rough few days: saying good-bye to one of my best friends, giving my cats away, trying to clean my house, pack, not get sick, see friends, finish work. I went from having 0 stress this summer to "holy fuck balls!" But I'm keeping my head above water. And I have amazing friends who are supporting me through this whole thing. I couldn't ask for anything else!

I won't have Internet or phone for 11 days while I make my way through the Bavarian Alps. I decided that since I'm going to be in school pretty much the entire time I'm in Germany, I should take advantage of the two weeks I have before school actually starts and travel around. I'm spending time in Munich, Augsburg, Mittenwald, Garmisch, Fussen and then off to Saarbrucken. I'm looking at this as a little detox. I've been so stressed lately that I'm letting my emotions get the better of me, which means little things are setting me off (I guess the good thing is my metabolism goes into hyper-freak out mode when I'm stressed, so I've lost, like, 8 pounds with no exercise. It probably also helps that I'm only consuming 300 calories in food...and about 1200 in wine). I think traveling around for 12 days is exactly what I need.

Because I won't have Internet, I obviously won't be blogging. But I do plan on keeping a journal and then using that to write my blog (I know, right? A JOURNAL? With, like, paper and pens? What the fuck?) I'm going to try to be better about blogging while I'm in Germany because a) I'd like to compile my blog entries into a book and get a sweet deal with a publishing company and b) knowing that I need to blog will encourage me to not spend my weekends watching shitty German television. I may actually get out and *gasp* do things! Especially because I'm 2 hours from Paris. And 7 hours from Amsterdam. Yessss.

So please, become a fan of my blog, follow my blog, etc. I promise sweet pictures, sharp wit and clever anecdotes. Maybe even photos of naked people I see on beaches.
