My Thoughts in a Song

I was sitting on the train the other day, heading back to Germany, and I was listening to my MP3 player. This song came on and stuck to me: "Get Through" by Almost Amy.



The words in this song pretty much describe how I felt when I left the USA (and how I sometimes feel now). I knew I was only going to be away for a little over three months, but sometimes when I thought about it, it seemed like a lifetime.

There are some people that I miss so incredibly much, and the good part is that I have gotten to Skype (or at least Facebook chat) with most of them. I'm so thankful that I've gotten to keep in touch with them, despite me being an ocean away.

Sometimes, I wish time would speed up so that I can go back to the USA and see my family and friends in person. Don't get me wrong--I am having the time of my life over here!...at the same time though, "you just don't know...how hard it is to not be by your side." It has been difficult adjusting to not being around people, language, and places that I know.

Today I realized that I'll be back home in about a month and a half. Crazy. Time has definitely flown by and I kind of want it to slow down. I spent part of today trying to plan out where I'm going for break, as well as where I'm going for my last remaining weekends. I'm thinking that I may not have enough time to visit all the places that I wanted to go to, which is 100% okay because now I have even more reason to come back to visit Europe!

USA: Stay classy, and I'll see you soon! ;)

Peace. Love. Happiness.
