Our Faces Split the Coast in Half
I was just in the shower thinking, and I realized that I haven't stayed in the same country for an entire month since July.
In August I flew from the States to Germany.
In September I trained it from Germany to Hungary, Hungary to Slovakia, Slovakia to Austria.
In October I went from Austria to the Czech Republic, the Czech Republic to England, and from England to Germany.
Now its November, and I am hoping that I can organize a trip to Amsterdam before the month is out. Colina is coming to visit -wow- a week from tomorrow, and I don't know how classes will progress in the coming weeks... but I didn't make my schedule so I had a four day weekend for nothing.
In December, once classes break for Christmas, the plan is to meet up with Colina in either Paris or Brussels, depending on what we can agree on about flights and trains in the next few days. Unfortunately I only have just a week once my classes break until we need to be in England to meet up with Colina's family (and later, my mom and Scott), but if I can see some of Belgium and Northern France before I head into the Most Expensive Country Ever, I'll be happy. Then, end of December its back to Germany before classes start up again on January 2nd.
I think winter semester ends sometime in February, and then will begin the (somewhere around) month and a half break I have between semesters. I have so many ideas for where I want to go... the problem remains too many places, too little time (& money). I'll have to be back in Germany early/mid April for the start of summer semester, but there is a good chance that Laura will be doing a program in Italy that begins in May... so that means I need to get down there before her program ends (because I will still be in school long after both Laura, Colina, and everyone else I know that is abroad).
This, along with everything else is my life, demonstrates the 'well lets try this and hope it works out' attitude that has been necessary to incorporate into this year so that I can remain a somewhat stable being. Tonight I went to my second kickboxing-in-German class. Tomorrow morning somewhere around 8:25am I will sit down at the wooden desk in lecture hall 002 in the Zentralhoersaalgebaeude and do my best to keep myself awake/understand an old German man talking about English aristocracy in the 18th century. And thats just the very beginning of the day.
Now I am going to go fetch some maracuja-mango juice from the kitchen, sit down with "Der Wille zum Glueck" and hope that Thomas Mann takes it easier on me tonight.
