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.
Brilliant! I love your blog! I love the way you write, and reading your voice will keep me from missing you too terribly when you're in Germany. You're going to have the time of your life over there. Go for it! Every day! Suck the living juice out of it! And then tell us all about it in your blog! Gute reise, sweetheart!
