19 Days until Departure

Well, so much for monthly updates. Anyway, a lot has happened in the last 2 1/2 months. I have a departure date (September 7th), a school, and most importantly, I now have a host family. I had my fingers crossed for somewhere in the east or south, and I got my wish. I'll be living right on the outskirts of Berlin in a little town called Hohen Neuendorf. I'll be going to school at Canisius Kolleg , a Jesuit private school in the Tiergarten, right in the center of Berlin. I'm also trying to do a little fundraising before I leave, so please click on the widget on the top left, and donate a few dollars or euros if you can to help me reach my goal of $1500 (€1200). So if you can, please help out!
