The upcoming week (starting tomorrow) will be busy, exciting and (most likely) painful. But I can't wait for tomorrow!  I will leave home tomorrow morning to go to Berlin. There I will first pick up the key to my new apartment. Then, tomorrow night, I will go to the Josh Ritter concert. Yieppie!!!  I am really excited for that concert. I've seen Josh last year for the first time and he is so much fun on stage! You can basically see how he is enjoying himself. And his stories always crack me up.
Thursday night my Dad will come back from China for another vacation but I don't think I will see him then. I will wait until Friday. Then my Mum is also coming to Berlin and we will see some relatives at night. On Saturday morning we will go to Halle, where my aunt lives. It'll be my aunt's and my Dad's birthday on Saturday, so we will have something to celebrate.  I'm looking forward to go to Halle because I haven't seen my aunt and my two cousins in a really loooooong time. I guess it's not always good to always be abroad.  On Sunday we will continue our trip and go to Münster to see my sister. That'll be the third time I'll visit my sister in quite a short time. I'm sure she'll get sick of me pretty soon!
There I will go to the Kristofer Åström concert on Monday. Another thing to be excited about! I've seen him only in May but I think you can never get enough of good concerts. And moreover, the tickets was not that expensive because he is quite unknown here.
Right after the concert I will get a couple of hours of sleep and then catch the train at 4.26 am (!!!) to go to Hamburg for my knee surgery.  I am actually supposed to be there at 7.15 but that's impossible since I depend on public transportation. So I called them and told them I will be a little late and they said it's ok. On that day I will have my knee surgery and if everything will be fine, I can leave the hospital one day later (*knockonwood*). But since my parents will stay with my sister until Thursday, I will stay with a friend Wednesday night. Nothing beats good friends.
And yes, Thursday I will come home again. Man, that's pretty much happening for just a week...  But at least I will have something to do and won't be bored to death. So you can imagine that I am really looking forward to tomorrow.

I also received my Ryan Adams ticket today. Wohoo!  The concert is only in November but I thought it's better to be on the safe side and get the ticket early. I'm not sure how famous he is here (I was already mistaken with Damien Rice...), so I didn't want to gamble... I already can't wait for that concert! I've never seen him live but always wanted to. I almost freaked out when I saw he's coming to Berlin, that's how excited I was!

Alrighty... that's all for now... Gotta finish packing! That won't be easy, because I can't pack too heavily because I have to carry everything around a lot. Damn, a car is soooo comfortable!
