I have a confession…. Okay, it’s nothing juicy or really
exciting and some of you might all ready know it, so I guess you can’t really
call this a confession. Sorry for the let down.
When traveling in a foreign country there are many worries.
Worrying about classes, money, how to get around, and plane tickets. I mean I
could go on and on but I think you get the idea. To be honest, I wasn’t worried
about any of this. It may be because AIFS was the complete right choice but
maybe not. My main, and really only concern was I wasn’t going to make any
friends and no one was going to like me. I thought I was going to be shipped
off to this beautiful foreign country and have no one to share it with besides
my Facebook friends (and that’s just depressing). I thought everyone would
think I’m the weird girl or the mean one.
I know this is completely ridiculous but still. Don’t take this the
wrong way or anything but never have I had a hard time meeting someone or
getting along with them, so why would this be any different? Well, it shouldn’t
be.
And it wasn’t. In this short time
that I’ve spent here I’ve met some pretty incredible people. In fact, I met my
second family. I’ve met the greatest people you will ever meet. There is truly
no one else I’d rather spend this trip with. These people get me. When I want
to get gelato on the way to class or for dinner, you can bet someone else is
getting it too. When I want to sing the Sound of Music, someone is singing
along. When I want to go to O’Malley’s, you bet I have people in toe. They make me smile, laugh until I cry, and
are there for me no matter what. I can feel their friendship in the bottom of
my happy heart (sorry for the cheesiness there). I can’t speak highly enough of them all
because my words just wont do them any justice. I’m truly the lucky one who has
been given the opportunity to meet them and call them my friends. I’m so
blessed.
Unfortunately, we have about a week
and a half left. I honestly have no clue where the time has gone and I know
this last week is going to fly by. I don’t want to think about leaving these
people or this place. It’s been a magically last few weeks and this place and
my second family will always hold a special place in my heart. So here’s to
more family fun, family dinners, and many more nights at O’Malley’s.
I know there isn't any pictures but blogger is in German currently and I don't know German soooo you get the picture.
