argh, i hate packing. i hate flying. i hate sitting in airports. in other words, i hate tomorrow...

for all you out there who don't know (which is practically all of you), i have been in germany for 3 months. as a foreign exchange student. and tomorrow i fly back home... *sigh* It is so strange to think of myself back there. I feel like i was just starting to belong here - a part of the picture instead of a spectator. and now i'm leaving. so weird...

i think i've really been taking germany for granted. not appreciating how much i will miss it when i'm back home. i mean, there are just so many people that i will miss - my host family, some friends... :( then again, i miss my family and friends in america too... grrrr. if only i could have both lives at once :)

well, i should get back to packing. all of these piles need to be transferred into my suitcases...

well, i haven't posted an update for a while, so i feel like i should write one. even though i have nothing to say...

umm...

ooohh, i love 'The Scientist' by Coldplay... could listen to it fifty times and want to hear it again :) it's so sad, but in a beautiful way...twists my heart every time.

have also been listening to Sarah McLachlan a lot lately - especially 'Witness'. my favorite part:

And when we're done soul-searching
And we carried the weight
And died for a cause
Is misery made beautiful
Right before eyes?
Will mercy be revealed
Or blind us where we stand?

makes you think...

but yeah. i really do have nothing to talk about, so i'll stop my babbling :)
