10 days or so in...

So! These past few days have been eventful! I have had plumbing problems (fixed), internet troubles (fixed), gotten lost a few times (and found), painted my apt (coat#1)...gone to my first day of language (success!), and SOMEWHAT found myself around my area of the neighborhood. Each day I realize a little bit more of HOW BIG this city is. it's insane!!

I am doing well, though... I like it here a lot, I have many teammates who are encouraging and SO helpful, an amazing roommate, and things are good for now.

One concern: my laptop is messed up.. It worked during my language classes, I came home, and it wouldn't work anymore.. It's a Mac and the screen had a flashing file folder with a question mark... so that's NOT good. at all. but the IT/tech guy took it with him to look at and he has a CD that might help that I left at home... So... we'll see.. Lift that up, seriously. That could be a huge frustration. And an expensive repair possibly.

Things to think about:
-April and I meeting national friends
-Having a vision for this city and these people
-My twin sister had her ultrasound last week, and everything is looking good
-the team here and work
-Language

Thanks so much for the thoughts.. Oh and blogspot is now blocked by my country... So, Lindsay is supposed to either update for me on my blogspot or on my actual website.. we'll see!

taking off...

i'm in munich..
goodbyes are hard. ugh.
i am suprisingly good at staying unemotional in public places..
i think it's the part inside of me that wants to be the strong one in situations when i can..
i miss my sisters. and parents. and brother. and my best friend. grr.

but, i am excited... deep inside me. ha.
i can't wait to get there in a few hours..
only 2.5 more hours on the plane!!

i had a productive flight here..
played 2 games of hand&foot with lindsay..
watched one movie and one tv show....
uhh.. ya.. :) best international flight EVER!!! :)

i think we're boarding.... YIKES!
take-off is my favorite......

my time at home is winding down.
i just got home from graceland too--with mom, taylor, lindsay, and her parents.
it was hil-arious. to say the least.

it's crazy how when you want time to slow down it flies on by.
4 more days. well, three whole days...

well, this stage in my life is over and i will be leaving the 'ville tomorrow... i'll be spending many hours being bored to death in an airport.. but i DID buy an awesome book yesterday, so that should keep me busy..

i'll be home for a couple of weeks and in 2 weeks from today i will be leaving again..... ah travels..
