This summer, I am looking forward to two main things: moving into an apartment and going to Germany. Granted, the going to Germany part isn't certain yet, but I'm hopeful. I'm super excited about living in an apartment though, because it means getting the chance to redecorate my room. By no means am I anything close to having an eye for design, but it's fun for me nonetheless. It was always the high point of being a military child and moving often. Now, though, it includes things like getting my own silverware, and curtains, and minor furniture, and pots, and pans... I'm a nerd. Weird things make me happy. But I will spend a good couple weeks getting everything just right, because have I mentioned I have OCD tendencies as well? It's my main goal to keep everything neat and orderly over the summer; once school starts I just never have the time to maintain it.The other high point of my summer will be going to Germany (if all goes well). My dad and I go every few years or so to visit his parents, and I love going because it's beautiful there and I get the opportunity to practice my German. I guess I kind of anticipate going this year for that reason... I've realized that my speaking skills are not up to par compared to my listening and reading abilities. We'll be staying in Bayern, which is one of my favorite areas because of the historic look.
I want to be able to explore and walk around by myself this time though, since I'm actually old enough to be able to do so. This time, I will understand the importance of taking photographs while I'm there because I don't know when I'll have the next opportunity to go back. I will have loads of pictures, hopefully like this one. Then I will come back to my apartment and await another semester of school while working for the newspaper while I'm here.
