..and the countdown says 5 days

Soooo, I leave in less than a week. It really doesn't bother me at this point. Everyone today at work was asking me: How nervous are you, are you scared, will you miss us? etc. And the truth is that yes I am nervous and scared, and I will fursure miss everyone, but I am so over being worried about this. If I obsess over it too much then I will over think it, and worry too much and cause a lot of heartache that is really unnecessary. I guess me not thinking about it is my way of not having to worry. Everything is done, and it would be stupid of me at this point to back out. I am going to have an amazing adventure, and I am not going to let over thinking ruin it.

So I have my very last German lesson today. Then I will be officially on my own. I want to thank Ms. Laumer for all of her help, she has been amazing. Helping me to really understand, and things that I will really need to know. Her patience was wonderful. Next year I will visit her and be able to really converse with her in German : )

So I am done packing, well I started a week ago actually. I didn't know what to take and what to leave. It is really hard to fit your closet into three bags, but I managed somehow. I don't really know what else to say... I might post one more blog before I leave, maybe, if not then my next blog will be from Germany!!!
