Goodbye Deutschland! (and Lenin)

After week-long preperation to make a video blog entry, or vlog if you will, perhaps V-Log, who knows, I sat down in front of my camera... and got stage fright. What do I say to you people? What if my voice sounds funny? (It does.) What should I wear? I had to think ahead of what pants I should wear long before I realized that no one would actually witness anything below my waist. What if your perception of my awesome-ness is depleted after realizing that I must continually edit and re-edit everything I do. Vlogging is very spur of the moment and I am very not. Honestly, to make some phone coversations I will sit down before and write out what I will say.
Then, like the lightning-fast genuis he is, Nick just looked at the fore-camerea-fidgiting-mess that was mio shook his head and said, "Or...you just write your blog."

Writing my blog? Mind blown. Genius.

When I'm ready to make the switch to on-camera, I'll give you guys a heads-up.

What I wanted to say to you, dear readers, is this. I am packed and prepared for my sixteen hour flight home with enough books shoved in my carry-on to be considered a mobile library. My farewell dinner tonight will be set in getting me ready to return to the states--we're eating burgers. Which is funny because I have yet to eat sauerkraut here and I'm slightly disappointed. The avacado burger will probably make up for that though.

So I bid ado to you, Germany. You were great and the size of me missing you will be just as great, but now I must be going and bringing my awesome back to the states. With presents. I'll be like a Weihnachtsmann in August.

I look forward to seeing everyone when I get back!


Note: I will attempt to keep blogging for some time after my re-entry in the states as a documentation of my inevitable culture shock. I just may be offline for a couple days until I get my bearings about me.
