It’s getting to the point when I can start to feel the time slipping through my fingers. I can hardly believe that ten months have actually gone by. I keep on thinking about going home and I wish I did not have to go home. I wish I could somehow stay here for another year. I know that it is not realistic, but I dream of somehow being able to pull it off. That would be a dream. Maybe one day!
I can tell that this semester is going like the last because I can tell that the professors are adding on much more work at the last minute. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as last semester. Fingers crossed!
This month, Jacobo came to visit me in Munich for the last time. The realization hit me pretty hard and was a little heart breaking. I wished that this was not going to be the last time. I know that is hard as it is now, but when I go home, it will be even worse. I’ll be lucky if I see him once every six months. I took him to the Munich Zoo. It was the first time he had been to the zoo and I think I was more excited about it than he was.
A few weeks after he left, a few of my friends from the program and I decided to take our Professor’s advice. She had always suggested that we take a small day trip to go Starnberger See. It was an easy trip with the train and absolutely worth it. We all grabbed a few beers, drove the boat out to the middle of the lake, bought a few bagels, turned on some music, and enjoyed the time together. I was so much fun and made me appreciate the fantastic opportunity that I have been given. This year and these people have been a gift. I am so grateful for them and the unexpected ventures that we have gone through together. This year has been much more impactful than I ever thought.
