WesHo Summer in Germany [cont'd]

So I'm up again, eh? Well 2 weeks left and Germany and things are winding down. We're in the big crunch of end-of-the-semester stuff and finals. I had a theater performance stuff (just from a workshop class for exchange stuff, not marvelous formal tony winning stuff like Kelsey does ; ) but it was fun and went rather well - that was last night. Also had a final yesterday, and today a project and studying for a final tomorrow that I take bright and early before going to Berlin tomorrow afternoon for the weekend to see the U2 concert there on Saturday night. I'm fully prepared to arrive at whatever ungodly hour before the gates open and sit out in the rain in order to get prime placement for my small figure. At times like this it would be handy to have a gentleman-friend tall and strong enough to hold me on his shoulders through it all, but you have to make do with what you got. so very unusually busy crazy week here for me. next week should be a bit calmer with one more final the day before I leave (the 28th) and then a quick detour to sweden (maybe denmark - well see) to check out that U2 concert (I know it's crazy, and I'm crazy, but they are my all time favorite band and they only go on concert every 4 years and how often do you get to see your favorite band while you happen to be in europe?) So I will catch them again on my way out, back home as i go up and around toward direct from Sweden to London Heathrow, where I will catch my flight through Dallas and to St. Louis for a couple days just long enough to get all my doctors appointments in maybe see a bit of family. Then my family and I pack up the car and head east to the Outer Banks, where we will stay a week. From there, my parents will head back, dropping me off at UNC where I will get to see all of you and we can get ready and excited for another awesome year!. I must admit it's bitter sweet to be leaving. I realized as I sat in a bar/restaurant with my roommates who came to my show last night telling stories and bringing up old jokes and reflecting on the year, I will miss the good stuff, the people, and some of the fun we had. But i look forward to seeing everyone back home and having just as much if not more fun with you all starting in August!


Love and peace from Germany. Can't wait to see you all!
