Getting ready to leave is not as difficult as I first thought. I don't own anything besides the clothes on my back, so packing was easy. What is impossible is just putting my life in the United States on hold. I have so many people in the states that I care about. That is when I realized, it takes courage and drive to committ to something like a year abroad. I know that what I get out of this endeavor will be priceless, so there is no way I am going to back out now.
The reason I am creating this blog is for both me and the people I care about. I want to really examine what I do and learn in Germany and document it. At the same time, I will have my findings posted to this blog so everyone will know how I am doing without going onto facebook for six hours and messaging people and telling them what is up.
My flight leaves San Diego Airport on the 29th of August. I will be traveling for 18 hours before landing in Stuttgart, so that means it will be the 30th when I get there. Then I have to find a place to stay because I am not allowed to move into the student dorms until the 1st of September. I might just leave my luggage at the airport and go camping or something until the 1st. Then classes start on the 2nd, for the first five weeks of being in Stuttgart I will be going to an intensive german course. It will be like FTC of German: FTG! I will be in class from eight in the morning, to four or five in the evening. It might be hard, but who knows. My next blog will hopefully be shorly after I arrive in Stuttgart.
