I am on my first step.

Well kids I am here in my hostile in Germany. Scary times let me tell you what. Luckily I found some fellows who brought me to this safe haven and tomorrow we leave for orientation. However, I have my doubts if they will let me stay. My German is CRAP I cannot talk to anyone here. It is bad news. So far I have had my new friends to take care of me but in 4 days I am on my own and I don't know if the head honchos will go for that so much. Oh god it is beautiful here. I have been doing alright yesterday saying goodbye to the parents almost killed me I love my family so much and we have had such a great summer of connecting I can hardly handle being this far away from them. It is funny I am eating dinner and they are not even having lunch yet. There are a few people I have met from the program who I am really starting to like. They are so chill for sure Jason from Michigan and L (I cant remember her full name but it rocks) from California are way fun everyone else seems a bit prissy but the three of us are super chill! Oh I had a meltdown on the long plane because I lost my mp3 player which is full of music from my dad. But I got over it fast and searched the fucking plane until I found what I was looking for. It is currently 5:20 here in Germany on Sunday and I am SOOO tired. I woke up at 5 am on Saturday for the flying fun and I am still running but soon I am going to shower and head to bed. Oh I guess I lied because today while we were waiting for it to be late enough to check in I did fall asleep in the town center and was accosted by a 12 foot clown I learned my lesson about sleeping in public!! Alright tomorrow starts another busy busy day so I am going to go take my shower and get ready for bed.. I know I know it is only 5pm but i have jet lag so cut me some slack and I will be reading before bed so that isn't too terrible. Alright Catch you on the flip side..


Love your wayward friend.
