Oh, the places you will go...

So in less than two weeks, I'll be in Austria. It's hard to say how I feel about that. If all goes as planned, it should be my final semester as an undergraduate. Which is scary. I'll be there for 5 months. Which is scary. I'm sure it's a lovely country with big green hills, big grey mountains and plenty of cows and beer. Which I'll admit does sound pretty great. It's just that right now, I think it would be better to be here. In some ways. But when I made these plans I didn't know that there would be a time where going to Austria might qualify as inconvenient. Which is a pretty fair description of the here and now. But there are things that make me think being alone in a foreign country for half of 2005 will be time well spent. Time spent on me and who I want to be. Get some work done. Once I get over the hills and mountains and cows and beer, I should be pretty free from distraction and be able to do some serious thinking. And if you know me at all, you know I like to think.

Big thanks to Landon for tuning up my computer. Big thanks to Terra for being lovely. Big thanks to Matt for being hilarious. Big thanks to Jamie.
