questions, borrowed.
This is totally stolen from Caroline
Q: Alright, you'll be abroad. Where?
A: Germany. Berlin. I'll have lots of weekend excursions; Brussels/NATO headquarters, Weimar, Erfurt, Buchenwald, Dresden, and Prague are on the itinerary, and there will surely be additional outings.
Q: How will you keep folks updated?
A: This is it! There's also FaceBook.
this one I had to leave as it was because the wording was so fantastic:
Q: What if I can't be bothered to type in a URL to follow what's happening?
A: Fortunately, there are several options. You can follow the RSS feed in your preferred reader (I strongly recommend Google Reader) which is the way I like to keep up with blogs. The easiest and most painless option for most people is to subscribe via email, which you can do in the sidebar. You will have to click through the confimration email, so be sure to keep an eye out for that in your spam folder.
Q: How else will you keep in touch?
A: E-mail! I also have Skype and AIM on my laptop.
Q: What are you studying?
A: German language, literature, and linguistics, ideally. Realistically, history, literature, and social life. Once I know my classes for sure, I'll keep y'all posted.
Fall: POLSCI 100A: Environmental Policy in Europe; ARTHIST 190: Berlin: Architecture, Art, and the City 1871 to the Present; (hopefully I'll place into) GERMAN 119S: Advanced German Language and Culture.
Q: Mmmmm... sausageland! Will you still be a vegetarian while abroad?
A: That I don't know yet. I was preparing myself to eat fish and chicken, but now it seems completely unnecessary. Two members of my host family are vegetarians, so it should be easier than I was planning. Most of my meals will be meatless, but who knows what will happen.
