I agree with Amaryllis.
Consider your decision carefully. In my experience, GSDs are extremely smart, loyal and wonderful dogs if you have the wherewithal to train and exercise them both mentally and physically. Every single day. Please know that "smart" doesn't just mean "easy to train" it also means "needs a job." Because if you don't give it one, it'll find one. And you probably won't like it. As far as potty training goes, it's a huge endeavor and no one you're going to overcome in 2 weeks. You can begin conditioning, but I don't consider a dog to be completely potty trained until they've gone at least 2 months without an accident in the house.
I'd also be interested to read your reasoning behind choosing the breed. Hopefully it's more than "they are da cutest puppiez evarrr."
