the random ponderings of e. f. danehy

wherein she discusses such things as writing, fantasy literature & criticism, & nerdy popular culture (using much parenthetical commentary & tangential ramblings).

Almost overseas…

Wednesday June 28, 2006

I fly out in approximately 5 hours… and I’m very excited. I’m just hoping they don’t lose my luggage (*knocks on wood*). The next time I’ll be able to post, I’ll be in Paris in the bright daylight of Thursday, while everyone back in the USA will be sleeping. Luckily Paris and Munich are in the same time zone, so I won’t have to readjust on 3 July when I head over for the program.

They emailed me from the Goethe Institut yesterday, in German. The entire email was more or less a few notches above my comprehension level, but Babelfish has been my friend for translation help. (My professor also recommended LEO for better word definitions than the basic online translator provides.) It confirmed that I’ll be in a dormitory and when to arrive where and such. I just hope that it’ll all be as simple as my maps and tourbooks say it ought to be!

Wish me luck! (Or Glück, as it were…)
