walking on a dream

“We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me”

that song, if you’re not familiar with it, is by Empire of the Sun and has come on my Shuffle repeatedly since I’ve been in Germany.  and some how it always comes on right when I’m charging a hill, 8 minutes in, feeling not too great.  needless to say though, it is hard to be in any sort of bad mood, ever, now. i really, really, really am walking on a dream.  the sun has been shining constantly all week, i feel great and on top of everything and yes, well for my last 70 days, things are finally coming together.

firstly, academic wise,  I just finished a 7 page paper on the natural state of man and the creation and need for the “State”… in German.  I was pretty proud of myself

Socially, one of my very best friends Eric Weinbender is spending his spring break with me here in Yermany and it’s been crazy seeing someone from Linfield for the first time in a while, a while  being 7 months?

Travel-wise ( i mean what would a year abroad be without it?) I am headed to Greece, Bulgaria and Romania next week for 10 days!  THEN I have two weeks of school (got to get errthang done) and then I have an extended spring break to Italia! (yeah know, the ush: Roma, Florenz, Cinque Terre) I mean, I KNOW I’ve been there before, but this time its ALL about the people: Anders (from school) Caroline (from home) and Aly (my new travel buddy from Köln/Buffalo).  Okay, I’ll stop now

Running-wise:  I did go on a 60 minute run with Eric (he went 80 so I only stuck with him the first 30 and then turned around) and apparently I could still keep a 7:15-7:20 pace… which yeah know, after a summer of solid training and salad eating i should be rarin’ (sp?) for xc

Future-wise? HA I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE. Don’t be askin’.

But, I do know ONE thing: I will be home June 2nd and have the following to do: renew my license. see my famblers, watching Gilmore Girls, and yeah, visit 1022 for the first time!

 

well, that is about it for my last report regarding march! can’t believe it is almost over. wow.
