In 21 hours, I will be boarding my flight from Houston, Texas to Frankfurt, Germany. I will be embarking on a great adventure that will expand my horizons, and I am very much looking forward to what this summer will bring. I am looking forward to learning more about medical history. Anyone who knows me well has heard me spout random tidbits about different diseases that I have learned about in my classes. I am looking forward to experiencing German life first hand while living with my host family. I am looking forward to practicing what little German I have managed to learn and to learning more.
Still, I do have a few anxieties. With my gluten and wine allergies, eating out may be difficult, and I may not have as many food options as I might like. But, there is always salad. And potatoes! In fact, my food allergies may have even forced me to be better prepared for the trip since I have learned how to communicate them in German.
What is do know is this: when I exit the plane in Frankfurt on the 28th, I will be taking the first steps of what is sure to be a great adventure. An adventure that would not have happened without an email with an intriguing subject line that I received on November 27th.
It is just really unfortunate, though, that my dog, Pippi, didn't fit in my duffle bag:
