Have you ever had one of those dreams that are so completely vivid, so real, that you have a hard time knowing what reality really is when you wake up? Your mind is fuzzy and pieces of the dream are still wrapped around you like the blanket you sleep with...you can remember that dream like it was a memory, as if it had really happened.
That's how I feel about my time abroad. I've been thinking about what it will be like to go home...what it will really be like. Back to reality. Thinking back over this year really seems like it was a dream, like it never really happened.
And the weirdest part is that I'm still living it...as if I'm still in the dream, I know it's a dream, and soon I have to wake up........

AAAAAAAAAH I'm going home soon!??!?!
Wait...what happened? Where did this year go? I am leaving Germany in 6 weeks, well, 40 days to be exact.
WHAT??
I am so busy now with work, school and an intern project I am working on with the Bio department at Uni Konstanz that I haven't had much time to think about it. But it's on my mind. I am leaving. I've been here for a year. I am going back to San Francisco.
Whoa. There are things I am looking forward to...my family, my friends, the boyfriend (even though we still have to be long distance until I finish school, at least we'll be in the same country!) Burritos!! Thai Breakfast in Berkeley. The Mission Bar. El Farolito. Buffalo Exchange. Trader Joes. All the stuff I haven't been able to get for the past year. Things are so much easier when you are in your home country....
but......
oh, all the things I will miss!! The bread, the cheese, the pastries, the pretzels, the BEER! Biergartens, marching bands for every occasion, the crazy festivals, the rolling hills, the Alps, the Bodensee, oh how I will miss seeing the blue sparkling beauty that is Lake Constance...
And traveling, traveling, traveling....how am I going to live in the same place for the next year??
This is all too weird. Gotta think about this for a while.
Or avoid reality as long as possible!!
