Well, it's been a while...

So, while I was at the airport waiting for my bag, I noticed something pecular. There was a bright red sign that said "Children must not play on the whatchyamacallit" (it didn't say carousel, though that's what I'd call it, so for our purposes, it is a whatchyamacallit). Children, really? Well, I am a legal adult, does that mean that I can play on it?

It reminded me of a happy time about two years ago when I was in England with my happy friends. We were at Chatsworth house, which is where they filmed the new Pemberly. There was a large staircase-style waterfall with a sign near it saying "If you choose to play in the water, please use extreme caution" so naturally the youngest two decided to walk across the fountain.

I would also like to say that I get to go back home in 16 days and I am very happy about that. You see, when discussing study abroad, my best friend brought up a good point that I thought I had under control...homesickness. I have been fine since the very beginning of October. I had a month of troubles, then forgot about it. I even had a visit home in those months, but I think that this visit was just longer and harder to leave. Don't worry, I won't leave BYU for good, its a fabulous school that I love (also, I just really have to beat my sisters who both ran home after a semester away). All I'm saying is that I think a BYU-LA is in order. I hope that the two and a half weeks I get for winter break is a long enough time for me to get sick of home so I'm not sick for home because we get absolutly no breaks from January until April and that is a long time with no home.

That little rant being said, how would I fare half way around the world in Berlin? I think that because it is such a short time, I would be OK. I was fine all throughout summer term because the end was in sight from the beginning, but maybe also because it worked out that I saw family every other week. I was talking to an army child who lived in Germany for a few years and she said that she absolutly loved it there. They are really friendly people and will totally help out with the language which was my main concern. And we have friends in Poland and Berlin(we think that's where he is). MAKE UP YOUR MIND LAURA!!! DO YOU WANT TO GO OR DON'T YOU!!!

Oh, the other thing is that I think I have more of a chance of having a car next school year if I don't go. And I would really, really like a car.
