Six Weeks

In six weeks I will be starting my year in another country. That boggles my mind a little bit. One week from now will make six weeks since the beginning of the Master in Teaching program at Whitworth. That boggles my mind a little bit too. I don't really know where the time went.

What will my MIT friends be doing in the fall? I won't be here to listen to their stories about their first breakthrough with a student, won't get to laugh about our professors' quirks during class. I'm going to miss the good times we had this summer. I wish I'd been able to hang out with them more often. In a sense, I'm still student teaching this fall too, just about 4000 miles away in a town called Bergisch Gladbach. I wish I could bring my classmates with me.

Germany is exciting. I am practicing my German and starting to plan what I need to pack. At REI today I got a voltage and outlet converter to protect my computer and camera chargers. I used my discount code and got 25% off! I took a gander through some photos from my last visit to Germany. Here's a couple, one from Berlin, one from Dresden.

Can't stop listening

I cannot concentrate on my homework so I thought I would share a song that I am obsessed with right now. I discovered Friendly Fires earlier this summer and they knock my socks off. Plus, I was just in Hawaii and anything that reminds me of how awesome that trip was just makes me happy.

One of my favorite pics I took in Hawaii: we're up on Diamond Head in Waikiki.

One of my favorite people ever ended up being in Waikiki at the same time. Getting to have dinner with Tyler and Ali Pau was friggin' awesome. 

Pics!

Not for the faint at heart. I finally uploaded my face onto my computer so you can see my stitches and stuff from my bike crash! Don't look if you don't like wounds. I actually hadn't looked at these pictures until now...gross! This one isn't too bad though.


I had a few more of my hands I was going to put up but they are all blurry. Sorry!
