One Month Mark

Well first I would have to start with apologizing again for keeping you all in the dark about my adventures here in Germany! I've been one busy bee these past couple weeks and hope it hasn't discouraged any of you readers from keeping tabs on my blog! But if you haven't been following at home, today marks the One month and 3 day mark since i've been here and must I say that time is going faster than a canoe down a waterfall. The things i've seen, the places i've gone, and the people i've met have been so astounding and its only been a month! I try my hardest to really take advantage of everything around me and the time I have, but i must admit i dont always do that. But with the time i do take advantage of i do make the best of. There's just so much of this world to be seen, so much to be done and I feel just so thankful and so blessed that I have this what could be a once in a lifetime chance to be here and to do all these things. I am equally as blessed to have everyone back home readers, or non readers, just everyone that supported me before I left and keep supporting me even after a month in. I'm getting to that point where I start to realize how little time i really do have here, and how after the shows all over and everyone flys back to their home, how much I'm really gonna miss everyone here, building all these friendships and these memories, that one day when I look at a map of Germany, or am speaking german I'm always gonna remember the people I shared this trip with and almost everything id did here depending on the night and how much beer was consumed haha. But I still have so much time left and I'm happy to have a realization such as this, because it makes each day in Germany that much more important, and to make sure to make every day count. But in other news!! The weather here is starting to become sooooo nice! Today it was a balmy 66 degrees, with a nice cool breeze and if I could live in that exact weather all the time i can tell you that'd be the life. I get to finally stretch my muscles and unwind after the long winter with a couple runs around marburg, some soccer games here and there, and just spending an afternoon soaking up some sun by the river. I will hopefully be visiting Kassel this weekend, then Berlin next weekend, THEN either Venice or Munich the next weekend and the one I pick to go that weekend, ill just be going to the next weekend haha. And I know what you're thinking "Neal?! How can you afford to go to Venice?" and with that i respond fear not my avid reader, flights to places around europe cost less than the computer screen you're reading this on, much less! I checked a flight to venice today and to go there it only costs 22 Euros. And the face your making at this point was the very same face I made when I saw it too. So lets just say with all these cheap trips, I hope to be doing some European trips on top of my german trips. I hope to also go to Barcelona, AND on a sort of different note, for those who know who these guys are Jay-Z and Kanye West are gonna be playing in Frankfurt June 5th, 3 days before my program ends here in marburg and i am for sure going and its gonna be NUUUUUUTTTTTZZZZZZ!!!! (Pardon the bad grammar). But its getting a little late here in Germany so to wrap this post up, I hope everyone reading is having ein schones Tag (great day) and hope all is well with you and you're family and friends, and have no fear I will be back one of these days ahead. I love you all and will work harder on getting posts out there for you hungry readers to read up on and remember
