So I'm going to leave America and go back to Germany in 1 1/2 months. The thought of that is driving me crazy. I still can't believe how the time flies. It was basically yesterday that i thought "Wow, it's still five months left. I kinda want to go home already." Honestly, I am freaking out! It feels like I'm running out of time for all the things I want to do! I have grown so close to so many amazing people here in such a short time. I'm so close to people now that I didn't even talk to 5 months ago. It's crazy.
On the other hand I am so excited to go gona though. I haven't seen those people that mean so much to me in over 8 months now. I miss them so much! And I think it's going to be great to come home.
I read that quote and it said "you build up a life for 16 years and leave it for 10 months. Then you build up a life for 10 months and leave it forever."
That quote really got me, because it's so true. Leaving Germany was definitely hard and maybe the hardest thing I've done until then. But I think leaving America is going to be even harder. When I left Germany I knew that I was going to come back. I knew that my family and friends would still be there. But now that I'm leaving America, I know that if I come back at all it's gonna be a while until then and it's not gonna be for long.And then most of my friends are gonna be off for college. So I think it's a lot harder to leave Amercia then it was to leave Germany. The thought of that is really scary.
But I'm going to try and not think about leaving to much. I will make the most out of the last weeks. There are so many great things coming up. I'm gonna try to keep you guys updated.
I'm sure all of you exchange students understand how I feel about all this. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Have a beautiful day everyone!
