Late Assignments

Oh Boy.

There was a time when I wrote a blog in the form of a letter.

The letter informed everyone that time was moving at lightning speed and that I would be unable to blog as often as I had hoped. Since then, time had slowed down a bit, allowing me to blog every once in a while to update everyone on my travels. On a few occasions, time slowed so much I was even able to blog "from my blackberry."

Times change.

Time is no longer at normal anymore.
It's not even at lightning speed.

Somehow, time jumped past lightning and went all the way to warp speed.

In the last several weeks, I've been to:

Norway (April 11-14)
Köln (April 19-20)
Budapest (April 25-28)
Berlin (May 1-4)
Heidelberg (May 5)

Regarding Norway and Köln, I've already posted the travel planning and/or the adventure of the hinfahrt. Much of Köln sits completed on my computer on MS Word, but it still awaits final touches. Budapest exists in pictures only at this point. Berlin, and Heidelberg are yet to exist.

When I have time to breathe, you'll hear more. Sadly, I might not be breathing in May.

I give a presentation Thursday on the Berlin Wall, which I still have to finish (and start on). Friday (or even Thursday night) thru Sunday night or Monday early morning looks like a trip to Prague. After Prague, I might come up for air, shortly, but then I hope to make a trip to Munich, and even possibly play tour guide in Rome, in the same weekend. ...I did spend a whole semester there, but I would love the opportunity to buy a cheap Ryanair ticket and go back. ..and impress everyone I know with my Roman insight. After whatever happens that weekend, I breathe shortly, probably preparing another presentation for a different class, because I then leave for Morocco for 5 days, with a presentation due the day after I get back.

...What idiot thought the end of May would be a perfect time to give a presentation? Who thought "I can get it out of the way fairly early, but still have plenty of time to get it done"? ...This idiot did.
