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.
