Auf Wiedersehen!!

Hallo alles! Ich habe nur ein Tag bevor ich nach Deutschland flugen (I have only one day before I fly to Germany)!! This will be the last post before I go which seems like the last post wasn't to long ago even thought it was. Today is my packing day, which is taking longer than I thought it would. I hope I'm not taking to much or too little, but I figure its best to bring less because I'm sure ill be hauling way more stuff when I return home. I am also frantically passing the house and looking at everything to figure out if I need it or not. Meine Euro (don't think to hard about what that means in German) came today and the only entertainment besides packing is looking at the pictures on them and all the different designs they have on them. As you might be able to tell its been a very long 2 month break for me and I never thought these words would come out of my mouth or be typed, but I am excited for some Wisson (Knowledge)! I think the weirdest thing is that it really hasn't set in completely that in 24 hours meine Mutter (Mom) and Ich (I) will be making our way down to Chicago and then 6 hours after that I will be on a plane and wont be back for 3 months. I've waited for 2 months, said all the goodbyes I could, and almost have everything packed, but I don't think I fully realize the adventure that is awaiting me. All I've really been thinking about is all the conversation starters I can use with the person that will be sitting next to me on the plane. So far I've come up with "What is your favorite episode of Friends and why?", and "Are you cool with me passing out on your shoulder at any given moment during this flight?". Also if the second question isn't used I've already planned on apologizing before that happens so its not schwierig (awkward).... Mein Amerikanisch Handy (American Cell Phone)  won't work while I am abroad, but I can have my texts sent to my email and can respond to them there and also you can reach me either on facebook, twitter @NealFagan, or my email maxamegamoo@hotmail.com (And yes, I know its a strange email and I know I should probably change that), but they said the internet won't be up right away when I get there so I'll be off the radar for a bit. Lastly since I wouldn't want any of you worrying about my safety, it just so happens that two of the students in my program will be landing at the same time at me in Frankfurt and we'll be meeting up to put our Köpfe (Heads) together and venture to our destination. Which is great news for me because if I had to travel by myself I would maybe get lost and fall on my knees and scream.


Finally I hope you all have an amazing semester/couple months. Thank you everyone for the support that you've given me while I was here and hope you all stay safe and I miss you already! Auf Wiedersehen (Goodbye)!!!!
