Well tonight is my last night in the States! I have said my last goodbyes and my mom and I are off to the airport tomorrow. It's pretty crazy seeing everyone get ready to go back to school and I'm getting ready to go to another country. Everything is so surreal!
The nerves definitely kicked in this week, but I was still so sure that everything was going to be amazing. It was just the "holy crap, I am leaving for a year," that hit me. I know it will probably be one of the best years of my life, though. I am so comfortable with my family that I am going to live with already that I know it will feel like home in no time.
My mom has been crying all week.....almost every time she looks at me. She also informed me yesterday that she thought we would be doing FaceTime every single day and I had to explain to her why that is definitely not happening. I might add that tomorrow is her birthday and I am giving her the worst birthday present ever. So send happy thoughts her way:)
I got my clothes into only two suitcases with the huge help of space bags, and then someone informed me that unpacking the space bags is so much worse than packing them. And trust me, packing them is not a fun experience. I should also say that I did not pack any spring or summer clothes so my mom and I will have to do clothes exchanges through the mail. Packing and worrying about clothes is probably the most stressful process of them all! If that is all I have to complain about, though, I am doing pretty good.
So the next time I write, I will be all settled in at the house in Germany:)
Have so much fun, Hannah! And take it easy on your mom - she's really giving to miss you :)
