Honey, I'm home!
It was about time I admitted and declared I was home. So, here it is. I am in Minnesota.
A year ago today I was on a plane from Washington, DC to Frankfurt, Germany. Unbelievable. Time flies...whether you're having fun or not. I'll be the first to admit that I had a good time in Germany, but it wasn't all roses. And, I am yet greatful for every moment. I was able to spend a year learning, thinking and meeting some amazing friends who taught and brought me once again to think.
So, what am I going to do now? I have no idea. But, I do know I need to think big and see where that takes me.
Someone famous once took the time to say that 'Life is a journey,' so I'm up for the adventure. Why not?

Dubrovnik...
Hey I'm in Croatia. Those are not words I thought I would be saying, but I made it here and am having a good time. I can't write long, only a minute or two left on my computer here at the net cafe. But, I just wanted to give N. a shout out...Happy Birthday! Have a good one and I'll see you soon!
About Dubrovnik...everyone should try and visit if they can. It's really pretty, but unfortanently touristy... More later!

Stars and Stripes, Darling.
Hey y'all! I just wanted to wish you all a great 4th of July weekend! I am leaving for Poland tomorrow. I'm hoping to have a good time. Everything seems really bittersweet for me right now. Yesterday I had my last day at work and everyone was so nice. I made blueberry muffins, apple muffins and brownies and everyone was all about them. Brownies and muffins are kind of a rarety here...just like bagels. But, there was no way I was going to make bagels. Anyway, I was baking like a fiend on Wednesday night and that was awful because the confederations cup was on and I was trying to watch the game and bake at the same time. It was Germany vs. Mexico and I totally missed the whole game. Germany won, but the game looked really good. It went into over time with an end score of 4-3. Anyway, last day at work. The department gave me a card, a Guttenburg coffee mug, a copy of the smallest book in the world and a German book by Carl Zuckmeyer (I think that's right...) who was from Mainz. So, it was so sweet. The saddest part was saying goodbye to the guy who always calls me 'darling' and 'dear.' He looked so sad and was the only one to give me a hug yesterday. He was so sweet and said that if I am able to get a job in Germany, I should give him a call and that we should hang out. So, after I turned in my security badge and said one last goodbye to my boss, I walked out the door and seriously didn't get more than 5ft. from the building and I started crying. I cried all the way to the bus stop. But, it's fine. I'm going out tonight with the other interns, and then I'll get up early tomorrow to catch the train and meet Carlos and Elaine in Köln...and then, off to Krakow. See you all later! (Oh yeah...I still have yet to buy my ticket to Minneapolis. Sorry.)
