Pre-Germany Nervousness

There is a little over one week until we leave for Germany.  I am excited, scared, happy, sad, and a bunch of other emotions all rolled into one.  The only other country I have been to is Mexico.  That doesn't really count, because it was spring break, and it was just a big party in another country, and everyone spoke English.  I am excited for all the learning opportunities this trip presents itself with.  Knowing classmates that went last year, I have an idea of how the program goes.  I am exited about meeting Veterinary students from other countries, working in clinics in Copenhagen, taking weekend trips, and having the opportunity to stay after and travel to Paris and London.  I am a little nervous about the weekend trips, being in a different country, with only a small group of girls.  I am scared for Nils, because there are 13 girls going on this trip, and frankly, that is A LOT of estrogen.  I am hoping that by the end of the trip we become closer and not want to kill each other.  I am sad that I am leaving my family.  I have a 1 yr old son and will miss him every hour of every day.  Just thinking about leaving is making me tear up.  I am worried he will forget me when I come back.  I am worried that I will not get to talk or see him as often as I would like.  I am worried that I will cry myself to sleep at night because all I want to do is hold my little boy.  I know this trip is the opportunity of a lifetime and he will not remember that I was gone for 6 weeks, but it is gonna be my biggest struggle of the trip.  I am also scared about the language barrier and the food.  Being a vegetarian, I am hoping I do not have to eat too much meat to survive over there.  Right now, I am thinking of the immediate future of packing and not having enough, or having too much.
