You win! I'm actually doing it. Blogging. I swore I wouldn't do it, but I guess I'm easily persuaded.

Well, I can't promise I will be really entertaining, but I'll try not to be an "emo" blogger as Sarah so wisely warned me against.

I guess I can start by explaining my blog title. About a week before I left school, there was a meeting where my teacher told all of us studying abroad a few things to expect. She told us that water is a lot more expensive in European countries so the people there sometimes take showers once a week or so to conserve. I made the mistake of telling someone in my family and literally (yes, I mean literally) almost everyone that knew about my trip asked me about it. I thought it was hilarious that the only idea that they all clung onto was that I wouldn't be showering ever. So there you go.

By the way, I will be showering more than once a week. Hopefully. At the very least I'll take one before I come home so you all don't have to smell me.

At this point there's not really much to say. I'm leaving tomorrow morning and am so excited. Woo! Thanks to everyone who helped me get my stuff together/generously donated/prayed for me (and my mother). I love you all!
