Catching up...

Hi there Y'all!
While I realize I'm starting this a bit late, I finally have two full hours of nothing to sit with a box of grapes in varying states of gross due to lack of cold storage, and a 2.7 Euro bottle of "Wasser mit Gas" from our vending machine to start this blog. It started out as a class requirement for two of the classes I'm taking while I'm here, but I figure it's a pretty decent way to keep up with those of you at home, and if you have to suffer through some art criticism and concert reviews while we're at it, so be it, you'll still love me anyway! I also anticipate talking alot about food, so be looking forward to that as we all know how much I like to eat (I have a really entertaining story about Matt and I and a couple of pizzas I'll share later...). You'll notice that there will be a bunch of posts happening on one specific day. It's because I'm a slacker, and I started this in a notebook first, but I promise everything you read after today will be completely, 100% firsthand! From Mozart to Bratwurst, and from Schnitzel to Strauss, prepare yourself for a Weiner of a time!
