Achtzehn Tage bevor Deutschland/Türkiye'den önce otuz dokuz gün

Guten Tag und Merhaba!
     Ich gab ein Presentazion heute am mein Deutsch Klass. Es war sehr gut aber die Computer aßt meinen Noten. Ich musste Improvizen machen. Das Wetter ist sehr schoen hier heute. Es ist etwas 65F! Hoffentlich, Potsdam wird schoen auch sein. Heute ich war zu viel aufgeregt ueber Deutschland und auch die Tuerkei. Es war sehr schwerig Konzentrazion haben. Mein Stimmestudentinnen sind nervoes von ihren stimmen Exammen bekommen. Es ist ein bisschen schwerig eine Lehrerin und Studentin sein. Ich muss Zeit fuer mein Studentinnen finden aber ich muss auch Zeit fur mich finden. Wenn ich bin am dieser Situation, ich ueber allein meinen Studentinnen denken und ich habe ein schwerig Zeit ueber selbts denken. Ich kann nicht Alles sein.
     Translation: I gave a presentation today in my German class. It was very good but the computer ate my notes. I had to improvise. The weather is beautiful today. It is 65F! Hopefully, Potsdam will also be this beautiful. Today I was way too excited about Germany and Turkey. It was very hard to concentrate. My students are becoming nervous about their singing juries (exams). It is a little difficult to be a teacher and a student. I must find time for my students, but I must also find time for myself. When I am in these situations, I only think about my students and I have a hard time thinking about myself. I can't be everything.
     It was a very beautiful day today which did not help my excitement about Germany. It is hard to believe there are only 18 days left. Since creating a packing list, my room is in utter chaos as I have sorted most my clothing into that which will be going with me overseas, and that which will not. I am keeping the packing to a minimum though, and am successful thusfar!
     This weekend is the Bach's St. Johannes Passion, and I am the soprano soloist. It is a very busy week as well as weekends, not only because of the rehearsals for the Passion, but also because next week is the last week of school, the week of the opera, and the week of auditions for the next opera Cosi fan tutte and auditions for the local regional opera company for Ghianni Schicchi. Oh, and, of course, whatever is needed for classes, teaching my students, and preparing to play for my students for their juries. I am thankful for it all; however, and know that the time will fly by. And I will soon be on my way!
     I want to make one quick comment about one of the most useful pieces of equipment I have ever possessed: my Nook. The E-Readers are absolutely incredible not only because you can have so many books in one place quickly at your fingertips, but, many of my librettos and music books have turned out to be completely FREE. What more could you ask for being a broke graduate student! It is a fabulous machine that I am very thankful for and would highly recommend to anyone especially those who will be going on to higher learning. More and more, Nook and Kindle have textbooks that can be purchased. And, both the Nook and Kindle have the option of making notes, highlighting, and uploading PDFs. Fabulous!
