Dresden Here I Come!

Tomorrow morning I am leaving to travel (9 hours by train) to Dresden for 4 weeks of language study! While I am excited, I feel that I have a realistic view of the adventures, blessings, and challenges that these four weeks will contain. Just today a friend reminded me that intensive language study is "like drinking out of a fire hose" and that I need to just absorb as much as I can, realizing that I won't be able to grasp it all. A good reminder.
