Pre-Germany

It's Monday, August 8. I have yet to finish my government class (could they just make it slightly more interesting?), but that's what I'm soon off to work on. Last night, Ed emailed me my travel itinerary, and everything is becoming more and more real. At this point, I'm just irritated by people constantly bugging me and reminding me of all the things I still need to do, but I am very excited for my ever approaching departure and exchange year. To my friends at home: I will miss all of you dearly.
