I’m glad I can still have surreal moments of realization about my current situation. Even though I have now lived in Germany for well over two months, I still find shock in the fact that I’m here for eight more. I won’t be home for eight more. I won’t see my family for eight more. I won’t be living an average life for eight more, and that doesn’t make me sad. It still has never made me upset. What I’m doing is amazing, and I realize that every day. For eight more months, I will be speaking leaning to be fluent in a different language. For eight more months, I will be living completely immersed in a foreign culture. For eight more months, I will be partaking in an adventure that so few people are brave enough to conquer. I am so glad I had the guts and the open-mind to let this be an event in my life, and I’m going to keep fighting to make it better and better. I will keep fighting for the rest of my life to obtain experiences that blow my own mind. Life’s too short to do what everyone else does.
Glad you have such enthusiasum about this new experience. We are all very proud of you and I am glad you have the opportunity to take on this challenge. But, remember there is nothing like family! We are going to miss you a lot at the "gatherings". Hope school is going well and your new family life is little less stressful for you. We have to skype again soon. Miss seeing your smiling face. Lots of love, Gram E
