In one week I will be on the fourteen-hour journey to Bonn, Germany. I’m extremely excited to finally get a chance to visit some of Europe. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. The only time I have been out of the country is when I went to Canada and later Mexico with my grandparents. I know this trip will be an amazing, once in a lifetime experience.
There are many emotions that rush into my mind whenever I think about this trip. I am extremely excited but at the same time I am nervous. The aspect of this trip that worries me the most is being in a foreign country where I don’t know any of the language. I am sure everything will be fine but it is scary to think I can’t communicate with people. Luckily my host mum seems extremely welcoming and willing to try and help me learn some of the German language. I am very eager to learn from her. Secondly, I have never gone and lived with strangers before so this is an area of concern for me.
I am extremely excited for the weekend trips. I have spoken to the other students on the trip and we have created a good plan. Knowing a rough idea of what we will be doing over the weekends definitely helped settle some of my nerves. I can’t wait to see places like Amsterdam, Prague, Northern Italy, and France.
Over all I am excited. I have finished getting everything I need for the trip. I am in the process of packing. It will be interesting trying to pack lightly but I am determined to make it happen. I can’t wait to get in Germany and start making memories with some fellow Aggies!
