Are we there yet? Seriously. It feels like I 've been waiting for this trip for years, not six months! With only 4 more days until lift-off, I'm more excited and impatient than nervous. Second year at A&M Vet school was fun, but taxing, and I'm ready for the real learning to begin.
I decided to travel to Germany because I don't believe an opportunity for such an experience will occur again in my lifetime. Also, I have always been interested in different cultures and history. So many of my friends have travelled abroad and had a great time that I didn't want to go through my college career without trying it myself. Plus, this strip wouldn't look too shabby on my resume.
My main concern is being able to efficiently manage my time and arrive at the appropriate locations without too much hassle. I do not travel much, and this trip will be the biggest one I've ever been on. As long as I have my list of contacts, though, and classmates, I don't think that I'll have a lot of trouble.
As far as expectations go, I think this trip will completely blow away any expectations! I'm booking on getting lost at least once, losing some important item, or unintentionally offending SOMEBODY. But this will all part of the experience, I suppose. Ohh I also need to pay homage to the airline gods so they will not loose any of my luggage. This opportunity given to me by the Vet School is one in a million. I don't plan to waste it.
Signing off.
