To those who have been reading this blog: I have big news.
Today, I found out wonderful news! I was accepted into the Disney College Program for the Fall Advantage semester as an Attractions cast member. So that means, I will no longer be heading to Germany. I want to thank everyone who has read this blog and I am sorry I won't get to share my German adventures with you. However, I will be creating a new blog about my time at Disney which I will post here!
It has always been a dream of mine to work for Disney and I cannot believe it will begin on May 21.

Foreboding disappointment
Do you ever get the overwhelming, foreboding feeling that something bad is going to really happen?
I have that right now and I can't shake the feeling.
I hope everything goes well for me tomorrow. I cannot bear to feel like I did last semester.

The Perks(and Disadvantages) of Being Single
This is going to be short because I don't like complaining too much... BUT....
Why do women in relationships insist on alienating themselves from their friends?
I am sitting here, alone, on a Friday evening, preparing to start my reading for the semester. Currently, I am living in a slight fantastical world by watching Midnight in Paris and dreaming of my year as a future ex-pat. If you have seen the movie(which you should because it is AWESOME!), you'll understand why watching this film and dreaming of my future ex-pat life is interesting. It just so happens that this film deals with numerous American ex-pats, but I won't tell you who ;)
You know, I can't help but feel a little lonely sitting all alone with my lonesome self. I should be thankful that I am getting practice for next year, but it is an inevitable fact that you will always miss your friends. If you know my friends, they are "independent" women types. The ones who can get by without a man. But, as of late, it seems that they are the total opposite. I am lucky if I get to see my friends without their boyfriends and it kinda sucks. I love all their boyfriends for their own reasons, but I can't help but feel left out.
That is the major downside of going to Germany. I cannot even attempt to find a significant other because I will be leaving for another country. I just don't feel it would be right or easy to create a relationship then leave them.
Ok. I am done with my pity party.
Maybe God will read this somewhere and bring love my way someday. Who knows? Maybe I am meant to go to Germany because something great is waiting for me there. Maybe it is love. Maybe it is growth as my own individual. I like to believe something wonderful is coming or else I wouldn't even dare to embark on this journey.
Your sometimes pitiful and endlessly hopeful host,

And a Happy Harry Potter New Year!
Well, it is midnight and I just decided to get a head start on reading for my class. If you haven't read my previous blog posts, I am about to embark on the most wonderful, most fulfilling educational adventure my brain has ever witnessed. Yes, that is right, I am about to start my Harry Potter Literature and Film course. Basically, each week, the class will be reading all seven novels and watching the corresponding films.
For those who do not know me very well, I have been in a love relationship with Harry Potter ever since I first starting reading the novels when I was about ten. Initially, reading the novels started as a way for me to earn extra points for the reading cart at my school. If you have no idea what that is, think of it as a reading reward center. You read so many books, you rack up enough points, you get awesome prizes. Well, silly putty was really popular when I was ten years old.
Anyway, this approach to reading the books was possibly the best literary decision I have made, right after my discovery of To Kill a Mockingbird. Let's just say it was so important, it comes a close second to me deciding to be an English major. Harry Potter and my career paths go hand in hand, if you are wondering where my priorities lie. ;)
I am pretty sure anyone who has ever read these novels will understand why I am obsessed with them. I grew up with these novels. I was the same age as the characters in the book when I started reading, so it was like I was attending Hogwarts with them. We grew up together and I liked to believe that Ron, Hermione and Harry were my long-lost best friends or something. I don't think there has ever been another novel where I truly cared about the characters. Sure, I have had characters who I briefly cared about for the duration of the novel but these ones seemed to have stuck around for good. I know that, when I am desperately bored/upset/adventurous/childish, I can return to these books and the magic will always be there.
I should also throw a shout out to my other favorite literary characters, Atticus Finch and Boo Radley. I seriously think I would rather meet those two above any living celebrity. No joke. Call me a dork but it is true. Read that novel and you get a glimpse into my other obsession, besides Harry Potter.
So have yourself a Merry Atticusmas and a Harry New Year!
P.S.
Why yes, those are the same book but with different titles. One is from America...scan right. The other is from Britain...scan left. I had to HUNT for the British one while in London. Basically, every single place was sold out, so I eventually bought it in Canterbury along with my copy of The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer.

New Year's REALIZATIONS
Today, on New Year's Day, I woke up to a new year and a new thought. As I get closer to starting this process, I had a strange realization. I was watching Dick Clark's New Year's Celebration and they showed New Year celebrations across the world. They focused in on Berlin and I slightly freaked out a little bit. There is a large chance I will be living in Berlin next year and it makes me so happy to know that I have something this amazing to look forward to! It is going to be rough but I cannot wait for the start of this bold adventure.
To Happy Beginnings and a wonderful 2012!
