Last night before Freiburg

Tomorrow morning I will be on my way to the Goethe Institut in Freiburg.  I like to regard this as the official beginning to my gap year as this will be the first program that I will do that I planned for the time I would otherwise be spending preparing for university. I am looking very forward to be part of a routine once again.  A summer of being lazy has insulted my work ethic.  I would never have expected myself to say this, but I can't wait to wake up early again! I just finished packing my new light weight four-wheeled Samsonite full with all my clothes.



Otherwise, since arriving in Germany on the 15th, I have been getting myself settled in. I have bought myself a toaster. A Bosch toaster. It was the last one they had, and so she gave me a 10% discount because it was the show Bosch toaster. I have also received notification from the state concerning the voting center where I will cast my ballot for the next chancellor of Germany.  Well, everyone knows it will be Merkel again. Nonetheless, I think it will be fascinating to make my first contribution to democracy. And what better time to learn about a country than during elections? All the key issues will be addressed and you learn what kind of people are running the country.  In addition, I can now officially donate organs with my official German organ donation passport that certifies my organs' validity and my intentions with them.  Perhaps it should go on record that at the moment my kidneys feel quite well settled with their current neighbors; Daniel's lungs, Daniel's liver and Daniel's pancreas (I have the utmost respect for those who truly go so far as to donate their organs in the service of others).
