Well, four days until departure, and getting pretty damn excited about leaving! Not looking forward to the flight, I tend to get stuck next to the more...interesting passengers on long flights (smelly, fat French women, a 90-year-old Jehovah's Witness who gave me a pamphlet on the religion and two in-depth lectures on why God is not responsible for the world's troubles, etc.). I like Utah just fine. For about two weeks at a time, and I've just about reached my threshold. Definitely feeling a little Wanderlust building up.
This whole thing is going to be so damn cool. Unter den Linden, die Berliner Dom, die Brandenburger Tor, spending seven weeks exploring all of this is going to be a blast. I'm staying with another German university student and another IES student near Alexanderplatz on Mollstraße. It admittedly doesn't look like the prettiest part of Berlin, and I'll be living in an old East German Plattenbau, but whatever. Certainly won't get in the way of me enjoying the hell out of myself over there!
