We're two southern Californians headed to South Central Europe. This blog is intended to share the journey with our friends, family, and anyone else interested in coming along for the ride!

So much to do, so little time...

I realize that there is much to learn about blog layout, and I have yet to venture into the trial and error portion of editing various portions of my blog. Perhaps I shall ask my friend Mandie to help me since I seem to recall her having experience in this field (from our college days). However, I did not want to wait until my blog was all shiny and pretty to begin writing, otherwise, I would never start.

So here I am, on the floor of my messy apartment, with a pile of Christmas presents next to me (yes, I was at Kohl's at 4am on Friday), having just finished my Croatian homework for tomorrow's three hour session. It's amazing how busy I thought I was in college. Has anyone else had that experience? You thought you were so busy with all the exams and papers that were due. Perhaps you had a job along with various extracurricular and dorm activities. And now, we have been ushered into full-fledged adulthood with spouses, perhaps children (although we are not at that stage yet), jobs, loans, bills, mortgages, social obligations, family obligations, and college seems strangely un-stressful.

That is what I am pondering as I prepare to head to my tutor's house tomorrow, and I know that my face will be frozen into that "deer in the headlights" expression for just about the entirety of our session. Oh well, perhaps this week I will be able to wrap my brain around the Croatian she dishes out at me.

The big difference between College and Big Boy life for me is that in College, I could go on 3 or 4 hours of sleep for days at a time and still function really well...today, not so much. If I get 3 or 4 hours of sleep I am ruined for days.

Let me know what you need me to do for you. I'm no expert, but I know enough of the lingo to at least google it and figure out how to do some stuff!
