Today I had a crazy realization. Time is flying by. It seems like only yesterday that it was March and I found out I was going to Germany, then promptly began jumping up and down like a leprechaun on a pogo stick! Tomorrow I graduate, and while my peers get their college schedules and prepare to go on, I'll be off to Germany. I have yet to feel a twinge of regret. This will be a life changing experience for me, and I cannot wait to begin. Tomorrow, I will hopefully apply for my next passport, which is my key to Europe, literally. Speaking of traveling, Wednesday I found out that my sister and I may be traveling to
Oktoberfest. As in
, THE Oktoberfest. It would be an incredible insight into German culture, and yet another dream of mine taken off the list. Overall, it should be an incredible journey. I know it won't always a bed of roses, but I have prepared for that too. In any event, I get more excited by the day! OH! I haven't even shared my awesome realization yet! Here goes:
- Two work, fun, relaxed months until D.C. and then Hamburg.
- Three months until I meet/move in with my host family.
- Four months until Oktoberfest.
- Six months until my 18th birthday!
It made my day to realize how much life lies ahead of me. Even as I feel sad about saying goodbye to those teachers, peers, and friends I love so dearly, it reminds me of how blessed I truly am.
Thanks for reading!
