I should have written more on this blog before leaving, but other things had to come first this past week: packing my suitcases, spending time with friends and family, and just taking in life and slowing down a little.
I leave Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's airport tomorrow a little after 4 pm. I will arrive in Germany at 10 am (4 am EST) on Tuesday. Because of all the numerous emotions that have been washing over me this past week, I felt almost emotionless today. It was as if I couldn't sort all of them out at once, so they just became nothing. Although, as I was packing tonight, I felt a huge wave of anxiety crash into me that I had to quickly step away from before it consumed me. I could feel panic rising as I looked at my bed that had papers, books, bags, etc. scattered around it and my desk that was full of paper. Things to remember and to do overtook my brain. But I also felt excitement, and I reminded myself that going to a foreign country and living there for an extended amount of time has been a dream for me.
My night will come to a close with this post and a quick scan over my list of things to do tomorrow. These next ten months will be full of great opportunities, and I can't wait to take them and make the most of them!
