der Ausklang.
So my year has come to an end, and it feels like just yesterday when I was perched up on the low table in my host brothers room typing up my first entry in that awkward first few days of my life in Germany. (cheesy)
My last few days in Germany consisted of buying a suitcase, hanging out with Willis, Joe and Andrew, and with my lovely friends Abby and Javier. As the day got closer and closer to leaving Germany I realized I didn’t actually want this to end and began dreading it. This year really was the best year of my life and it took me up until the last few days of it, to realize that. No more random adventures in trains, drinking and partying in the most random of locations with the most interesting people ever, living my life day to day and not worrying about anything. Life was Simple.
As I got to the airport and said goodbye to everyone I didn’t cry, thankfully. But as the plane took off towards Portland and I reflected on how weird it was to be going home and leaving my other home, my eyes had a mind of their own. I guess it’s time to come back to reality, in a sense, and go on with my life using the things I learned from my year abroad with the next step in my life, college.
I hope to try my best to not miss my life back there as I live the rest of my summer out in Oly, and somehow make it the rest of the summer not worrying about fall.
tschüs tumblr, for now.
