Maybe I'm the only one...but I feel like the last three weeks have flown by exceptionally fast..and the big day is almost here! That's right, in just under 10 hours --9 hours and 44 minutes to be exact--I'll board my first train and head down south! (Just a refresher--for the past three weeks I've been attending language camp and staying with a temp family. Tomorrow, I move to my permanent.)
Throughout the day I've just been one big mess of emotions...super excited when I woke up, sad to leave Dusseldorf, nervous as the day progressed, and anxious for tomorrow to come. I'm so happy that I was able to have such a wonderful family for these three weeks and hope to keep in touch with them throughout my year...but after six months of emailing and waiting, I feel that my excitement for meeting Denise, Ulrich, and their four kids is strong enough to trump any other emotion!
So, let me give you an idea of what tomorrow looks like:
I'll probably wake up around 8:00-8:15, pack the last of my things, get ready and eat breakfast. I'll leave for the train station about 9:20 and catch my first train at quarter to ten. After two stops, I'll be on my final train that will take me to Stuttgart. I'll arrive around 2:30 and then finally be home...it really doesn't feel real to me. However, I can honestly say I'm ready to have my suitcases out of sight and out of mind for a while!
I'll keep my blog updated with stories, experiences, and pictures as often as I can but right now, I'm going to see if I can get at least a few hours of sleep before the big day begins:-)
