As I look back at the expectations that I had for this year, I have to laugh. I had expected meeting people to be so easy, and thought that I would be speaking German every second of everyday.
It is not easy to meet new people. Developing friendships takes time, as hard as it is for an impatient person like me to admit. It is even more difficult in this situation, being a foreigner and often ending up around the students I came here with: Americans.
It's lonely at times. But it makes me appreciate what all of those ex-pats that I have met over the years have been through. And I know that this experience is making me a stronger person.
