Back from Germany that is…yes, for those few who read that are farther away,such as my friends from eduFire, I have returned. First I’ll tell you, like I have for the millionth time now(I don’t mind), why I’ve come home. You see I’m missing one requirement for my diploma and that is one math class or credit. Well my school district does not accept credits from abroad or ‘unaccredited’ schools as they put it. I did try to do the course online while in Germany, but it didn’t work..like technical problems. I do admit that I had chances before, but foolishly I let them slip away and so now I find myself back home a semester early. It’s been about two weeks now that I’ve been back so I figured I would let everyone know formally on here.
Of course, I’ve been overwhelmed with emotions of missing Germany and also by well getting accustomed to the life here and seeing all my friends here again. It’s weird…being back…but I miss Germany ever so much. I miss my host family that made everything possible for me there. From accepting me into thier home to granting me a bike which got me everywhere there…to my friends and sorts, it’s all thanks to them. Heck it’s thanks to them that I met half my friends there. If it hadn’t of been for them taking me to Großhansdorf’s Oktoberfest on one of my lowest days I would have never met so many of the friends which I miss so much now. Oh and the gifts they gave me which made my stay even more memorable. Such as my birthday present, which I here once about, a trip to Munich to see Magda. Or my amazing Christmas gift; a trip to Austria for a week snowboarding in the alps with them skiing. It seems the gifts they gave me all granted me with travel. The bike, the birthday present and my christmas gift. Most importantly though, they opened up thier life, family and home to me with embracing arms, something I will never ever ever be able to thank them enough for. So Thank You Sven, Heike, Sina, Morten and Kira from the very very bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for making my dream come true in every way.
It’s because of them that I miss my friends there. I miss how easy it was to get where I wanted..with a bike! I miss it..here…well I don’t have a car or full driver’s license yet so I can’t anyway unless I go out with a friend who does…a bummer compared to what I could do in Germany. So in my boredom due to lack of transportation here causes me to miss Germany. It’s odd though…with this missing…I feel like I have to go back…of course to see my host family and friends, but I feel something else. Something that tells me that..something…I have no clue what…but something is there for me. I mean I had planned on going back for studying in university and even live there and work, but now something else is calling me back and I cannot get back soon enough. If I could I would leave June 8th right after the graduation ceremony. I would hope on a plane and go looking for whatever it is there that gives me this strange feeling. Maybe it’s just I miss it so much that calls me back there…no clue, but when I think about going back i get this weird feeling and it just tells me I have to. Weird, huh? Well that means I’ve got to find a way to get back and as soon as possible.
So that’s whats on the mind at the moment…and don’t quit reading or checking up on my blogbecause I do plan to keep it going withhow it is with the differences now and I have a massively huge blogcoming up withmy diary entries of my last month in Germanythat I couldn’t write here since my early return was also a surprise to my friends. So, instead of posting on here I kept a journal of sorts and I’m working on typing them all to post here. I believe that will make an interesting read for us all…including myself so check in for that which should be up in the next monthor so…it’s a lot. Till my next entry I hope all of you guys are doing great both here in America and to my friends who also read in Germany. I miss you guys in Germany and I hope we’ll all see each other soon!
