first timer

So, my first webjournal entry. I don't know if this is such a good idea, since I am notoriously bad at journal keeping, but it seems a good way to let everyone know what's going on, at least in terms of general trends, without having to repeat myself. I am currently stressed, because I am newly aware of how much there is for me to do while still in Berlin, and how little time I have to do it. I need a drink, or a hug, or something, because the Pferminz Rittersport isn't quite cutting it.
Fun thing I just did: went throught the Livejournal setup process in German. Ah, the joys of living in Berlin. Fortunately, I understood, but I do miss English somedays. I could list a score of other things I miss, but we don't need that. Mostly, I just want a break. A nice long vacation where all I have to do is take my GREs and write essays about why I want to go to grad school. And then pray that I'll be able to afford it without resorting to immoral activities.

OK. I have to go do something productive now, though I don't know what. I have a to-do list, but I don't want to do most of it...
