Less than a week to go...

I can't believe my stay in the States is almost there...by the end of the week I will be back home. Wow.

Let's see here...what have I done the past few days? I went to see a couple of places with Leslie, I was lazy, I was tipsy, I packed my suitcase (almost done), had clos-to-a-panik-attack-moments, I was crazy, calm, sad, happy... It has been a rollercoster ride. I kinda liked it actually even though I don't like ups and downs that much.

I am nervous. I really am. I feel like I am back in 2001. I feel like the exchange student again. (Yes, I started ALL of these sentences with *I*!) Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me. Why in the world does it feel like I am going to a place that I don't know? Why in the world does it feel like I am gonna meet total strangers? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT???

Today I said goodbye to Barbara. Tomorrow I will say goodbye to Claudi. Thrusday I will say goodbye to Katrin, Amy and Anja. Friday I will be at my parent's house. Satruday I will be in Magdeburg celebrating a birthday, saying goodbye to my family. SUNDAY I WILL SAY HELLO TO MY CRAZY AMERICANS!!!

I am excited. I think I can be. Being in the States has always created my greatest memories.

I am anxious. I can't wait and yet I don't wanna go. I do. But I don't.

I don't know what's wrong with me...

YAY! Things are falling into place!

I got an email from MHS the other day. Ms Koeher is okay with my survey!! YAY!!!

Also, I am picking up my US Dollars on Friday.

11 days left! I am so excited!!!

update

I booked a RENTAL CAR!!! I will be able to drive around and visit each and every one of you!! YAY!!!

Also, I will exchange some money today...

USA HERE I COME!!!!

A much needed update...2 weeks to go

A lot has happened! I don't even know where to begin. *lol* (I know I keep saying this but it is true to some extent- I almost can't recall EVERYTHING, and I am trying to figure out what to tell you!)

Leslie is finally in Germany!! She arrived last Tuesday. I am so happy that she is finally here. 6 years of not talking to each other face to face has been way too long! She is such a sweetheart and she is learning German already!! (Only the bad words, of course! *lol*) We stayed in Leipzig for a couple of days, spent some time with Claudi and Daniel, Maja and Christopher and saw a little bit of the city. We drove to Nordhausen on Thursday. Matthi is home right now, so we spent time with him, went to Mittelbau- Dora, the concentration camp here in Nordhausen, went on a roadtrip through the Harz, visited the theater I used to work at during the summer, ate Bratwurst... and had a lot of fun together. The only sad thing is that Matthi is really sick. He is going back to the doctor's tomorrow. I sure hope it's nothing too serious.

I FINALLY managed to get the important stuff done for my stay in the States. Leslie was a GREAT help. Without her I probabaly would have NEVER been able to finish up on everything. I owe her big time. The survey for Mohawk High School is finally created, I already sent it to Ms Koehler. I hope she is okay with it.

Also, I finished up my SQM Internship Proposal and sent it to Prof Garrett. Now he just has to be okay with it and then I can start working on the surveys for that project as well. Turns out I will have a lot to do while being in the States, but I am really looking forward to it. I need things to do... I really think I am ready to start working on all of it. I already created the blog for my environmental internship project. You can check it out, if you want. I didn't post anything yet, but as soon as I start the project I will be posting stuff.

Also, the production pictures of "Closed Games" are online now. There are too many to put them on here, but if you want to check them out, you will find them on my facebook account. I don't have the link right now, but I am pretty sure that most of you are on facebook anyways! So check them out!

What else? Umm...I think that is pretty much it for right now.

I am getting really excited because my trip to the States is coming up! Only 2 more weeks to go. I really can't wait!!

I miss you guys!

I have lost track... so mucb do to

During the past few weeks, if not months, I kinda have lost track of what is REALLY important. Now, 4 weeks before I go to the States, I realize that I have too much do. Too much to handle all at once.

I need to learn to set priorities...

Well, I should get right to work then before there are even more things coming up.

I want to be done when Leslie is coming... well, I will need her help for one thing though (it's good to have friends that teach English to foreigners...hehe, perfect timing for you to come to Germany, Leslie!!) Anyways, I cannot wait for Leslie to be here...we will have so much fun and I am getting so excited when I think about NEXT TUESDAY!!

The other good thing is that my hubby is coming home TOMORROW!!

So, you see, times are getting really excited. No wonder I get distracted!!

English title of my play

FINALLY ( I am so retarded because I knew that before...) I found out what my play is called in English...it is NO EXIT! Thanks, Terri...
