Missing Germany....

I have been back in Texas for a while now. I miss Germany and Europe in General. I am so thankful for having the chance to experience what we did. I still can't beleive some of the experiences! I learned so much about the world and myself from this trip.
I was so sad leaving Germany and heading back home our last day. Once off the plane I was overwhelemed by the heat. I did not miss that at all. My first few weeks back home were difficult. I really missed walking everywhere. I kept trying to take my dog on long walks but she didn't seem to like that idea very much. She really objected to the heat and would just sit down. I also found myself trying to ride my bike places. Unfortunatly, Texas isn't set up for people not wanting to drive a car. Plus, I was always soaked in sweat afterwards. For weeks I would wake up early and find myself board. There aren't any cool places just a train ride away here!! I think that is what I miss the most. I also really miss all the wonderful fruit I used to eat in Germany. I do find myself eating nutella and bread for breakfast sometimes. I am happy to be back to eating a diet with little meat though.
I am reaching the end of my time at Texas A&M as an undergrad. Unfortunatly the economy here isn't looking to great. I have been looking into moving abroad for either a job or graduate school. That is something I would have never considered before! We are raised to think the United States is the best country in the world. Germany opened my eyes and showed me this isn't the case. I think studying another culture really made the faults in our own extremly apparant. I really like Germany's social medicine, their recyling program, and the public transportation system. I really enjoyed Europe and I could be extremly happy living in a country other than the one I grew up in.
