I arrived in Berlin yesterday, and walked around the city a bit last night. We saw the Brandenburg Tor, and wandered around Unter den Linden.

The more time I spend abroad, the more I start thinking about working abroad after I graduate a year from now. It`s something that I´ve thought about almost daily since I arrived here.

Two things are certain: I´m fluent in English, and am working on my German.

For a while I was thinking about the Peace Corps, but I´m not 100% sold on that idea yet.

For as long as I can remember, I´ve worried about looking back on my life in 50 years and thinking, "Why the hell didn´t I do that?"

As of July 1st, I've been in Hannover, Germany.

I'm really ready for classes to start, as it will be then that we start traveling more (Goslar, Bremen, Berlin, Kiel, etc.) During the day now, we wake up and go into the city, and at night some of the people go out drinking. There's really only so much I like to drink in a given week, though . . .

I'm thinking that in the next few days (if I'm not headed to Prague), I'm going to grap a map and just catch whatever trains come my way. In some ways, I like exploring alone . . .
