I think that four days prior to departure is an appropiate time to breathe some life into this blog.
Four months ago, Germany was like a dream. Four weeks ago? No big deal.. But four days feels like an hourglass has just been tipped.
I started with packing today, which required more thought than I'd expected.. then again, I usually pack for a trip the night before. It was sentimental to fold up my favorite jeans, to consolidate the addresses of friends and family to whom I will write..
My meager German studies continue, and I'm hoping that I am able to make the most out of language camp.
I am looking forward to meeting the kids from the AYUSA CBYX class of 2012 again in Washington. In the absence of loved ones, we are going to be eachothers' family for a month (language camp) and support system thereafter.
It's half a relief and half terrifying to know that there will be little to no contact with family/friends while in Hedersleben. Like our own little learning bubble.. a true total immersion experience.
More to come.
