The List. Part One.

Last time I wrote (my apologies), I mentioned I'd be making a list of things to do for myself in Berlin. And then, 8 days went by and no such list was produced.

So I'm back to redeem myself. I'm here to proclaim to you the things that I am going to do/see/experience while I am living in Berlin, or Europe at large. Some of these things that I am about to mention are already in the plans to be executed; some are wishes without plans; some are barely hopes that I have truly yet to get my head around. But it will be my goal to complete these tasks and cross them off my list, one by one. So here we go:

-Quit smoking. Although I'm in Europe and EVERYONE smokes, I've been smoking a half a pack a day, on and off, for seven years now. Uhh, I'm pretty young. That's a long time. I'm done.
-See the city from the top of the Fernsehturm (TV tower) in Alexanderplatz.
-Visit the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. I'm actually doing this tomorrow, so expect a report sooner rather than later.
-Learn how to play the guitar, for real. Knowing the chords to "MMMBop" doesn't count.
-Join a gym in Berlin and hop to it!
-Go see a band that I really want to see. 
-Go see a band that I know nothing about.
-Travel to Italy! (I'm doing this...next week! Details soon).

Here's the deal. This is only Part One of The List. I will be adding to it, but not too soon. I have plenty to accomplish first. And I have no intention of turning this into a strictly, "Oh, I'm helping myself DO something" type blog, but right now, I need to focus my attention on enjoying myself and having purpose. Don't pretend like you've never been there.


I am going to own you, Berlin.
