Two week pre-departure thoughts

The countdown is....counting down. 14 days until I board a plane for London that will take me to my summer home in Lüneburg, Germany. It's kind of nerve wrecking, really. Do I want time to go slow or do I want it to go faster? Slow, because i'm nervous about the move. Fast because i'm also excited about moving.

I ordered a satchel (it looks very touristy, so I won't be taking it out much when I go out. It came in today along with my converter plug. Things are getting very real!!

Anyway, here's a distraction that I found very deep:

Sometimes in life, I feel like that penguin. I leave the colony not to face a certain death, but because I want to stand out from the others. Do I rationalize this behavior? No, and neither does this penguin.
The reason I also posted it is because Werner Herzog is a modern philosopher. He brings out observations that we don't see, although we are presented with them. He has a very dark way of approaching things. He's been an inspiration recently in my thoughts and feelings about leaving for the summer, in a way that I should look at things from another angle (since i've been pretty anxious and nervous about leaving). But not everything has to be a Werner Herzog reality. The key is to stop worrying and let the natural way take its course at times.

Those are my thoughts for today. Bis später!
