Okay okay okayyyy, my dreadfully long winter break hasn't been all that bad. Last weekend, Kelsey and I drove down to JMU and I got to see Marianne, and we got to celebrate Kelly's 21st birthday with her which was a lot of fun. I got a kick out of saying very loudly again and again, "I DON'T GO HERE!" ....something very fun about partying at other schools where you don't know anyone, and most you will never see again.
Last night Kelsey had her housewarming party for her new apartment and it was nice to meet all her friends. I love meeting all my friends' friends so I can finally put names to faces. I just wish some people would come visit me at my school and meet my friends!! :( (That's a hint to some certain people reading this...)
On Wednesday, I'l be going up to BC for a week...it's supposed to snow here though and there on that day, so I'm really hoping I'll be able to get up there...maybe mom can work some magic.
And the exciting news--the day after I get back from Boston, mom and I are going down to Dominican Republic for a week! I am soooo looking forward to it. We'll be staying at an all-inclusive resort and I cannot wait to just lay on the beach and feel the SUN. I've still got the winter blues, so I told her that all I want is to feel the sun and go to the beach (WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!) and we made it happen. We'll get back the 16th and then I've got a week until I leave for GERMANY!
I got my housing assignment a couple days ago which has definitely added to the excitement of going. http://www.jwp-architekten.de/13.htm That link shows a picture of the building I'll be living in for the next five months...it is GIGANTIC. But a girl who went on the program last semester said a lot of students live there and it's fairly new, the only downside is that it's about a 30minute commute to campus, but that's okay. It's just all becoming very real! The email I got about housing explained all the amenities and such in German, and I realized how rusty I am =/ but I guess that's what that three-week course is for!
Also just a note, I changed the title of the blog to more properly fit the whole..."abroad" experience. I saw this quote, or one similar, at Kelsey's apartment this morning and really liked it and the way it applied to a lot of the things I've been thinking about lately. I'm not scared to go abroad or anything, I'm not going anywhere new, but I just can't be worried about what I'm leaving back home and at school, because I'm going to be having my own adventures!
