I'm Off!

to Hannover! Tomorrow I will be pretty busy getting packed and making sure I've got everything taken care of before I leave. Then on Friday it's off to Hannover to spend Christmas with Matze and his family in Neustadt. I am really excited to get back up to good ol' northern, rural Germany. I love it up there. It's so different from the south. It just feels more distinctly "German" for some reason.I'm rambling now. Anyway after that it's off to the Czech Republic for 6 days to go skiing with Matze and a bunch of people from Neustadt. Here's hoping I don't break a leg! And I mean that in all seriousness -- I could seriously break something. Those mountains are big and I've never skiied before. There will be lots of pictures, unless I break both of my hands, in which case you guys are all S.O.L.This will be the first time I've left Germany since arriving here 4 months ago. I think it's safe to say I'm just about the only one of my friends here who HASN'T left Germany since arriving. That's pretty pathetic. But I'm saving all my big trips for the semesterferien! Over and out.
