Going to Taize...

Oh the *excitement*...in less than an hour I have to leave to wait for the bus that is going to Taize...I hope that I have all that I will need in terms of clothes, etc. I'm just taking my rain coat as opposed to my winter coat and I hope that that won't be something I will regret--I guess jumping jacks may be a good thing ;-p (to keep warm I mean). I have my bible (in German!) and lots of food...in fact my backpack pretty much has my water bottle, dictionary, a book, my camera and then food and in my bag I have lots of food crammed in there too. I'm still going to have to buy stuff there but I've got a bit of a head start on my allergies. I'm really tired right now because I didn't sleep in as much as I could have and I stayed up yesterday playing solitaire--yes, *sad day*. I watched a funny movie though called something like "The smile of a summer night" from the 1950s and it's a Swedisch film but you could change the language to German...very happy. The sun is shining today and it feels like spring may be coming--yay! There is hope but maybe not until April. I don't know how things work here. Once I come back I get to start preparing for my trip home--that's *exciting* too and I am probably going to go check out a kindergarten where I may be able to volunteer a couple times a week. Why? Because I want to work on my German and there I would be able to work on that (I hope) and work with little kids, which would help again in terms of discerning my future plans...and this week at Taize I'm sure I'll learn a lot...but hopefully not in a homework kind of way. Yay for being done with first semester...now I have to think about which courses I would like to take come next semester but it's all good. Well I think I should probably stop now and have a nap or something--power naps work wonders. Bean, I hope that you have a nice weekend...not too much homework. Schoenen Tag wuensche ich euch (falls es jemand anders auch gibt). Denk an euch.
