Friday September 19
Well, I started of the day with a wonderful (cough, cough) German placement test for Humboldt Universität. I realized things weren’t going well when I signed on, the test came up on my screen, and then immediately read:
Meredith Edrington

Isn’t that just wonderful! So, I after a minor freak out I had to sign on and take the exam as my teacher. I did pretty well (I think I could have done better) but the way the test works I could make 100 on some versions and a 5 on others. And with a score somewhere in between you can’t get too upset. But now with Intensivkurs and that stupid test behind me I am ready for an incredible 8 days!!
After the test I headed back home, and FINALLY finished Die Dreigroshenoper which is excellent news! Now I don't have to worry about it on my trip! Perry and Eric met me at the Turkish market (duh - it was Friday) and we bought some snacks for the trip while yelling at angry old Turkish women and their carts. Side note: the very first time we went to the market I feel in love with this ring but it was 8 euro and the man would NOT budge. I've gone back twice a week since I got here and its always been 8 euro. I walked up yesterday just for fun picked up the ring and said, "Wie viel kostet?" the reply, "5 euro." So, persistance pays off and I have a new ring!!
I headed home for a wonderful "linner" date with Zach and then went out with the usual suspects (Perry, Eric, Dan, and Jarrod) to this cool bar with couches, pillows, and blankets. Now that's my kind of place!
which brings me to today...Saturday, the day the fun begins! I leave in 3 hours for Eastern Europe and will be spending 8 days in Budapest, Bratislava, and Prague!! And if your couldn't tell I'm SO SO SO SO SO excited!!!! I'm hoping to have internet while I'm there so that I can post some updates and pictures but if not check back on Sunday the 28th for the whole scoop on the trip! Have a wonderful week!
Oh yea, and GO DEACS!!

You know how in Harry Potter when they use the floo-network and the face pops up and talks to you, I feel like your blog does that. I can just see your pretty little face jabbering on about EVERYTHING. AND I LOVE IT! I wish I were there with you. Or you were here. Or we were somewhere together... WE WILL BE SOON! In the mean time, enjoy yourself on your trip!! I LOVE YOU!!! xoxo
