Germany Here I Come

I am really anxious about this trip. I have never traveled to Europe before, but have always wanted to. I can't wait to leave to see Europe and have a high expectation for the adventure that awaits. However I couldn't help but dread a little at the prospect of leaving my family for the duration of the study abroad. Another issue is my terrible luck at getting lost, I have always had bad sense of directions. In College Station at least everything is in English; In Germany, language will not be a strong point. With the issues aside, I can't wait to meet the host family and start immersing myself in German food and culture.
