As I sit on the couch writing this, I have to admit that I am very stressed! I still have so much to do before leaving for Germany in just over 24 hours that it’s a bit overwhelming. But I work well under pressure and know I will be just fine come tomorrow afternoon. Aside from the stress of packing, I am so excited to be heading to Bonn! I have been planning to participate in this program since freshman year and now as I enter my final semester of undergrad, here I am actually doing it. It’s crazy how fast the time has flown by since committing to the program in September. The excitement kept building but so did the nerves. I am anxious about living in a country whose language I don’t speak with people I don’t yet know that’s thousands of miles away from my family, friends, dog, and boyfriend. But more than that, I am looking forward to getting to know the other people in the program, building relationships with my host families, learning through a new perspective, and exploring Europe over the next four months. I’m ready to jump in and make the most of what is sure to be an incredible and transformative semester!
