This will probably be my last blog entry from my exchange-year in Germany. I feel really great knowing what I’ve been through, and being able to treasure my time and experiences here with my friends and host-family. I took the Zertifikat B1 Deutsches Sprachdiplom (Certificate B1 German Language Diploma) two weeks ago, and I felt good about the results. I won’t find out until September or sometime this fall. My plane is on Friday and it’ll have been exactly 50 weeks since I was in the USA. The pictures below are of my host-brother’s “Prom” that we had last weekend, and my “going-home” party. It’s been quite a journey and time never paused during my stay. My host-sister will be visiting us from the end of July to the middle of August; she’s never seen the USA and this will be a great way for me to keep-up my German and practice! (She’s 11 and doesn’t speak English.) So other than this, I start school next year on August 22nd at at the University of Illinois at Springfield. I plan on double-majoring in international relations and political science and minoring in business administration.
Thank you to everyone who has read this and I look forward to seeing you!
Viele Grüße
