WHERE is my passport!  I HATE losing track of things at the last minute, and I need to finish packing really soon!  I'm meeting Sabrina at the Berlin train station in three hours so we can head south on the train for Italy!  Woo hoo!  A whole adventure lies ahead!  It'll be nice to get away from my parents and everything for a little bit. 

(MOM!  Have you seen my passport?

I will spend some fun time with Sabrina, really get to know her a little better before she goes her own way.  The guys too.  I just happen to be the odd American living here in Berlin.  But that's what you get for going to international programs, lots of friends from all over who leave... 

And Rob... He'll be leaving too.  I think I really may have fallen in love, and this is some of the last time we'll spend together.  This trip will be wonderful.  I can't wait to meet up with him, I'm mad at myself that we planned so much time apart at the beginning, but I'm sure he needs to go do his "guys thing" with Erik for a while.  I hope his "guys thing" doesn't include anything to do with other women!  That's a useless fear, I know, but I still have it.  He's off somewhere in Athens now, and I won't see him until we meet up in Rome in six days.  I'm counting the minutes. 

AH!  There it is.  Passport in the sac, clothes in piles.  Just a LITTLE bit more squeezing and shoving to get all this in the bag...  Yikes.  So little time! Almost have to go!
