2 Dayss!!!!!

So in a little over 63 hours ill be on a plane headed to Amsterdam. I'm not gonna say that I'm not nervous or scared, cause that would be a flat out lie. It's more like worried about the fact that i don't speak german, and the fact that i still have soooo much to do before i leave. I still have to do basically all my packing, and i have to clean my room up so that the girl who is living with us (who we picked up tonight) can stay there instead of in my brothers old room. Now despite the fact that I'm kinda nervous I'm also ridiculously excited, I really can't wait to be in Berlin, even though I am gonna miss everybody here sooooo much.

I probably wont update this again until i leave, so until next time most likely in Berlin!

Introduction...Einleitung

Hey everybody, just wanted to have a post to introduce myself. My name is Chris, I am a 16 year exchange student from Long Island, going to live in Germany for the year (hence the title of the blog.) I will be staying in Berlin, more specifically in Zehlendorf, an area about 15 kms south east of the teirgarten. I leave in just 9 days!! I am busy packing, shopping, cleaning my room up for the girl from venezuela living with my real family while im gone, and, oh yea, attempting to learn some german. My knowledge of the language is little to none (i had to use babelfish to get the word in the title for introduction >.<) but a very gracious couple has been tutoring me for the last couple of weeks. I'll update more when it gets more interesting, but for now I figured that an introduction would suffice.

Tschüss!
