Holy Heidenheim!

After a very exhausting weekend, "Inbox (1)" was not a very unusual thing to see once I finally sat down to check my email last night.
However, it soon became the best part of my day, when I realized that the email was from a German Rotarian from the small city of Heidenheim, in the south of Germany, to tell me that I would be an exchange student in Heidenheim an der Brenz, to use its full name, which is in Rotary District 1830.
This is where I will be living next year!!!!!!!!
I was informed that there are about 50,000 people in Heidenheim, which is part of Baden-Wurttemberg. It is several hours' drive from Munich, Ulm and Stuttgart.
It's so fantastic to actually have a place to think about! I have been looking at pictures and hope to hear soon about my school and host family.

Here are some of the fruits of my frantic, ecstatic Googling:

Yes, I will be living in a town with a castle.
