Where am I going?

Title translation: Where am I going?

In roughly six months I'll be boarding a plane to Germany, where I'll live for nine months.

Concerns I have:

• I've never lived abroad before.
• I'm going entirely by myself (this is both exciting and terrifying).
• I don't know where exactly in Germany I'll be living.
• My German is complete shit.

Why I'm writing a blog:

• I have a large family, and this is so much easier than e-mailing them.
• Personal use (writing material, incase I suffer some sort of short or long term memory loss, for general shits'n'giggles, etc.).
