First steps.

Hello all! Since I am sure loads of you will want to keep up on my adventures while I am in Germany this coming year, I have started this blog. I must say that I have been very anti-blog in the past and the only reason I am staring right now is when someone asks, "So how is your trip going"? I will be able to say, read the blog. This simply a time saving effort and also an experiment to see how many of you will follow along. I do not promise an amazing story that will thrill and excite, most of this will be inane details so that I remember this trip, but I do promise at least a good waste of your time. I would like to say that when I received the news that I was accepted to this program I have never felt so good about anything, and even though I know it will not be easy at times, I know I will have the most amazing experience I can. I would like to say a sincere thank you to those of you who have supported me through this endeavor and I hope that you will find reading about my adventures enjoyable. Thank you, you are the best friends in the world.
