Early December

I only have a little time between classes, but I though I should update whoever reads this. I have been unable to sleep much, but am in good spirits. I have been busy with work and the holiday festivities going here, spending times with friends to celebrate passing exams, joining another band in which I will be singing in English and Spabish pop songs all around Germany starting in January, and getting excited for my trips to Ireland and Scotland. It will be very nice to stay in a family home with good people. I miss my own friends and family from home a bit, and was sorry to miss Katrina's 24th birthday yesterday....I am trying to keep in touch with my friends, but it is not easy to find time to. Two weekends ago, I went to Dresden with Laura for the Christmas markets. We had a wonderful time, tasting and seeing a lot of great things and getting some shopping done. This past weekend, we did much the same thing in Prague. I have yet to wrap my presents and get things ready to be sent home with my friend Nate who is going to Scotland with me for New Years. I have a lot of traveling, packing, and baking to do before our break starts on Friday afternoon, but I am looking forward to everything! I also get my green card on Wednesday, just in time before I travel far so I can't be cast off as an illegal...should be a good week!
