So my dad has really given up on this country, and says that we need to leave. He wants to move to somewhere like Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Germany, or Austria (basically any primarily German-speaking country). I guess this is because my family is of Austrian decent, and we have two family hotels in Austria. A lot of political things have set him off, as well as the state of the American economy and such (I cannot even begin to try to get into explaining, especially since I'm not very keen to his reasoning.)

We shrugged it off when he first started talking about it, but lately he's been looking up and printing out different available homes and properties for sale in Austria, and it makes me wary. He's listed himself as semi-fluid in German, though he hardly speaks any anymore. He said he'd relearn it if he had to. But most colleges in America only teach Hochdeutsch, not Österreichisches Deutsch, so I'm not sure what he's meaning to do about that. Likewise, my knowledge of German is extremely limited, not to mention that I haven't taken it in six years. My mom doesn't speak German at all, so I don't know what he expects from us.

I know that our country isn't doing so hot and that it sucks in general, but I really don't think we could take such an extreme change of location. I couldn't stand to be further from my friends than I already am, and we'd have a huge new set of challenges facing us. In short, I'm very worried. I hope it's all just hot air.

In other news, I'm turning twenty next week. I'm horrified. XD
