Pre-Germany Prep/Jitters

Okay, so I've never posted on a blog, so you'll have to excuse any potential faux-pau on my part.

My decision to take part in this program stemmed from both a desire to do something fun for my last summer (ever!) and the fact that my curiosity has been peaked by the German vet students that came over here last year. After hearing a little bit about them, I wanted to learn more about Germany, the people there and how vet medicine is the same/different there as it is here. Also, the furthest I have traveled all my life is to Mexico, so this is going to be a bit of an adventure for me.

As far as expectations go, I expect for everything to not go exactly as planned, but I think that it'll be fun overall and a fantastic experience. I'm trying not to have too many specific expectations regarding the trip as my plan is to just go with the flow (which isn't particularly my M.O. as I am generally too type-A for that). Basically I'm looking forward to a good time and learning a lot about a different culture.

My biggest anxieties stem around just getting there as I'm not all that familiar with commercial air travel and I've only traveled alone once in my life so it's a bit nerve racking for me. So here's hoping nothing goes wrong. :) Now I just have to get everything together and count down the days till we leave.

See you all there!
