I reckon it's pretty hard to write a blog about my last thoughts on leaving England when I've been trying so hard lately to not think about leaving at all. Today was meant to be a day for packing but I avoided getting my case out until the last minute and only moved the pile off clothes from my bed when I realised I might want to sleep at some point.
If I pack it seems to have such an air of finality to it, I will have to go through with this year, until then I'm just saying I'm going I'm not actually doing anything.
Part of me also worries that no one else is finding it this hard. As far as I know I'm one of the last few to actually start their year abroad. Everyone else has been in foreign lands all summer while I stayed behind with my summer job and now it's finally my turn and it's really hard to actually believe.
I have to though, I must power through to the other side where a new culture and many adventures await me. My one consistent thought of the last few days is this: Germany had better be pretty damn awesome to make up for all the stress and anxiety this trip is causing me.
Next post will be from a new land, deep breath, here we go...

Germany will be awesome, and you're going to have loads of things to tell us about when you get back. :-P

It's a cliché, but I bet everyone else is just as nervous as you; they just show it to varying degrees, and in general, you've not had a good chance to see it. :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's hard for parents too but you never heard that from me!
I have no doubt that before too long you will be looking back fondly on your time in germany and all the adventures you had.
