First Post--Too Late

This is about the year I'll spend in Berlin, Summer 2006 to Summer 2007, researching my dissertation on German history. I am a 28-year-old graduate student from the East Coast of the U.S. I'm 5 feet 3 and a quarter inches tall and I speak German poorly.

This is basically it so far: Am not even in Berlin yet, and cannot read German. Well, not fast anyway. And have no money with which to go to Germany. This past fall, I wrote grant proposals to get some dough for next year--waiting to hear in the next few months whether I'll get the cash, or have to rely on my graduate program to fund me. What can you say: Arg.

And, supposedly this post is lame. Lame!

Man, thank god we kicked the crap out of the Nazis or the winter olympics would be a total blow-out everytime.

Dissertation speak makes me so hot and bothered. What's my name? Say it! Give me some sugar. I want some sugar in my bowl. Yummy.

There is no way in hell that you are as tall as you claim to be.
