Gretta Gone Global

Well, I decided I should explain.

I am going to Germany next month for a year-long exchange program.  It is called the Congress-Bundestag Vocational Youth Exchange and is organized by Nacel Open Door.  I will attend language school for two months and then move to a more permanent host family for the remaining ten months.  There I will probably attend some sort of school, whether their high school or a vocational school or such I do not know.  Then or shortly there after, I will begin an internship, which I do not yet know either.  That will come later, so you should definitely keep reading this blog every few weeks, just to know the latest news

I plan to return home some time June 2009.  Until then …

My cross country tour-de-family has gone well. My youngest relatives were very compliant and photogenic.

So much about my life has changed in the past month or so. I just hope that the best things remain.

The other day I was at a used book store. I couldn’t help but buy In the Beginning by Chaim Potok when I read the first few lines. They were very fitting for my current point in life. We’ll see how the rest of the book comes;-)
