Today I spent the day gathering my belongings and making a big pile of everything I'm bringing to Deutschland. I even did a test pack and weighed my suitcase for kicks, it came in at only 25 pounds! And I have 44. So maybe I can bring those rainboots after all, or soccer cleats. I then talked to my host sister on Facebook for a while and set myself up a SchülerVZ account (German equivalent of Facebook).

I'm getting excited! Only three weeks until I leave the country... craziness!
