So as I sit here at the ungodly hour of 5 am, I marvel at the wonder of the internet. Sure, just about anyone with a connection north of 56k can marvel at the wonder that is the World Wide Web, but for me, being in this far off place (but by no means less wonderful) nothing makes me feel more comfortable than having some of my favorite things and people at my fingertips. Hearing that western twang (as the title might suggest) of violin and guitar, as well as receiving emails from friends and family all over, really help to bridge the gap from me to what makes me happy.
As for Berlin, classes begin in earnest tomorrow! Faced with such daunting topics like the history of public communication in Europe in the 19th and 20th century to the culture of modernity in Berlin, I daresay our intrepid hero may find himself actually experiencing what he came here for: academia! (Insert dramatic music here) I'll try not to over exert myself waking up at the crack of noon, as classes tend to orient more towards later in the day, but in truth, the prospect of sitting in on lecture, even if it is a topic I know and love is a little frightening. But in an case, we shall see. Wish me luck!
