Leaving Today!

In a little less than 5 hours I am leaving for Vienna... I can't believe it.  I was definitely right in the last post when I said this day would be here before I knew it... and here we are!  I've packed a ton of clothes (probably too much), listened to some German to familiarize myself with the language a little, and have said goodbye to most of my friends and family.

I'm so excited, anxious, nervous, etc. and can't wait to finally step off that plane and be thrust into my new (temporary) culture! Thanks to everyone who has wished me well, calmed me down, and talked me through the preparations for this trip.  I'm off!! So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen goodbye!
