I'm flying out of Germany in about a week. I'm stressed out with finals at the moment, but I'll be more or less done on Friday. I get to spend a few days in Italy with some friends, and the I really have to leave, all the way back to America.
In no way do I want to this. I really desperately want to stay in Germany - it's not the difficulty of having to move, because I'm used to picking up stakes every couple of months or so. I think it's just the finality of it. I don't know when I'll be in Germany or even Europe again, but it probably won't be soon. It definitely won't be for as long.
I have made a list of things I will miss about Germany and things I will not miss, hoping that I would be reminded that I actually do love living in America and speaking English and things. It's not really helping, but what the heck. I figured I'd post it here so that in a year I can come back and be all nostalgic and whatever. Or just embarrassed! The second is more likely, anyway.
( Cut for being a list, some swearing, and some purposeful negativity )
But I guess generally, I just love Germany and I love being able to use this language that I've been learning for years for no good reason. Okay. Now I have to go get ready to watch sci-fi movies at someone's house in preparation for the Space History final. Got to make the most of this while I'm here.
