Come one, Come all!

She awakes early in the morning, much early than usual. The alarm is buzzing it's morning call. She lifts her head up just far enough to make out the clock time, it reads 7:25 am. Too early. She groans and changes it to radio, rolling back over and pretending to go back to sleep.

An hour later, with a sigh she gets out of bed, to check her e-mail before her busy day begins. While there she remembers the stat-counter she signed up for, to keep an eye on how her blog is doing. Excitedly she goes to check it. She holds her breath as the page loads, waiting to see if she has had as many people looking this week as it seems. Suddenly, there it is, her website-statistics.

The site reads based on cookies kept on others' computers. According to her stats, last Wednesday she got 17 visitors! 7 of those 17 were new visitors. She grins, and goes immediately to share it on her blog. She then happily bounds off, with a smile on her face, and a bounce in her step. Her agenda today includes, cleaning, packing, meeting a friend for some hot chocolate, and going to class. Then it is off to her friend Tiff's place in Giessen once more, for a weekend of fun.

But most importantly, people are actually finding her blog somehow: despite the fact that she doesn't seem to be listed ANYWHERE when you google "Just a Girl" or even her blog name with a combination of her nickname or the blogger.com site. Tragic, but not so bad after all.

Have a great weekend everyone.

thanks danielle... lately i've been trying to write them more as stories, instead of in the first person so much, so i hope everyone has been liking them. I think your blog is interesting! I check it often, I am just horrible at commenting! :( oops.
