The Beginning... of the End

 

It’s the beginning of the end- made official too.  I’ve had an itinerary for some time now, but I’ve taken awhile to post it because I’ve become more and more busy. Gonna be spending 30 hours in airports on the 23^rd… sounds like heaps of fun.  At least I’m not sitting mindlessly in airports for hours (5 hours in Philadelphia + 3 hours strapped in a seat while they *prepared for takeoff* was hell the first time- and I had other people to talk too! I’ll be a bit lonely on the return flights)

I could rant about my itinerary for hours, but instead I’ll just post it… here it is :-)

And yeh, when I get back, I don’t want some giant airport party.  I’ve already invited a couple of my really close friends, and some of the newly dubbed rebounds that are already back.  And my favorite oldie Sara (I really want a hug from Sara :)  And Stacey better be there this time ;-)

I’ve made some plans for the next couple weeks after I get back too.  I’ve got some hiking plans, might be going to a concert, sleepover plans, coffee plans Miriam has already volunteered to capture/edit senior photos,  Gotta prep for the SAT and getting out of highschool.  - and of course skype plans with Miriam and Lara as always, plus my new German friends.  I’ve also a promise from meine liebling Claudia that I will be getting many deliberate phone calls to may house in the middle of the night just to tell me what she’s eating for lunch. :-)

 

And I will keep blogging until January definitely… maybe longer.  I feel that the whole reverse culture shock/rebound/reversehomesickness is greatly overlooked, and I want to keep it documented--- and keep people updated how the whole college/scholarship stuff is going (and tell the people reading my blog here in Germany that I am still alive)  

Truthfully, I have no idea how many days I have left… and I really don’t want to know.  This is the last time I will post about going back until I actually have to leave.  So only happy things until July.

It’s the begging of the end.
