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!

Arrrgh! Go furry badger! Represent America to Germany. Germany who are currently winning the medals race in the winter olympics.
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.
