Countdown - Two Weeks

Two weeks away, and where am I?

I'm only on disc one of my German tutorial which I bought several years ago in a desperate attempt to learn. Whenever it comes up on shuffle on my iPod I always skip it. Not too good.

I'm $800 dollars away from my goal. Hopefully, I'll make it by this weekend. If not, then I'll just have to suck it up and work really hard again next week. I want to have a surplus though so I can do a little shopping before I leave.

I also need to factor in:

A) haircut
B) septum ring
C) toiletries for two and a half months
D) presents for Sascha and Katja
E) dry cleaning

Actually, that list is a lot more daunting than I thought it would be.

For the most part, though, I'm pretty ready. Mentally, anyway. My attitude when I get there is a different story. I'm just so nervous and afraid, for a lot of reasons but mostly because I've never been away from home for that long.

And I want to be productive, but I'm worried that for the first time in seven years, not working and not being in school is going to render me completely unproductive.

We'll see.
