Hallo!

It's been almost two months since I last wrote, and I talked all about my worries about going abroad...well my feelings have since shifted.

One month ago I traveled to Montreal with BCMB and that was my first time out of the country in about 9 months, but being in a foreign environment (especially since Montreal speaks a different language) started to get me so excited about going to Germany. Also, volunteering at the Boston Symposium on the Arms Trade Treaty three weeks ago got me in the spirit to go abroad because I go to meet a lot of diplomats from all over the world. I was helping with something that has to do with the world today, rather than just sitting in a classroom studying which gets soooo boring after so many years.

So! Needless to say, I'm getting really excited about going to Germany. I got officially accepted to the Heidelberg program last Friday, so I'll be leaving on February 24th (so late!) and coming back July 27th. Short summer but long winter to bum around McLean and find something to do...

Fall is in the air... I smelled that first true scent of fall tonight at rehearsal and was in love! Halloween's coming up and before we know it, it'll be time for hanging Christmas lights! Gotta get through midterms first though...
