summer is going really well. i'm officially over the hump, it's all down hill from here and it's definitely seeming as if my time is much shorter than it really is. it's almost august, and i'm going to texas on august 16th, and then it will really feel as if my summer is over. i picked up another job to try to save more money, but the BIG news is that

are you ready? ...

drumroll ...



I HAVE AN APARTMENT. it's in charlottenberg, it's got internet, tv, telephone, washer/dryer, full bath, balcony, for 300 euros a month. i have one roommate, she seems perfect for me. also, my room is furnished with a matress, closet, desk and shelf. now i CANT WAIT to go because my #1 stressor is gone and I WON'T BE HOMELESS!!! i can't wait to be in the city in my room starting everything!!!!! it makes saving money so much easier, because i have an end in sight and it's so amazing!!!!

more posts to come when i start shopping for berlin things.
