So long...farewell...Auf Wiedersehen...Goodbye

It's not goodbye Germany...not yet anyway. It's goodbye to my "host family" and the little town of Hahnenklee. I've been here with this family for 4 weeks and I've really been loving it. I'm really trying not to cry, to just suck it up and move on tomorrow. Not the easiest thing for a person like me, but I'm getting better at it. The rest of this trip will hopefully be just as amazing as the first half.

This trip has been making me think so much about my future. I've got just one more year of University, and I'm going to make it count. By make it count I mean have the time of my life... And after that I'm getting the heck out of Michigan. Nothing wrong with Michigan, I do like it a lot. It has its charms--Northern Michigan especially. And I love being near my family. But I've got this Wanderlust in me. I have to travel :-) So the plan is, at the very least, to live abroad for a year after I graduate. Before I move back to the states, I have to have perfected my German and my Spanish.

I think that glass of wine is getting to me...goodnight.
