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.

They are the ones who will change the most this year.

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;-)
