That's right folks...packing has begun. Spending the majority of today raiding out my closets and dresser drawers, I soon realized the clock was ticking away and I only had 24 hours left in little Ashland, Ohio. At exactly this time tomorrow evening, I will be sitting in my hotel room in Washington, D.C. and preparing myself for the upcoming flight on Friday. And, at this time four days from now, I will be aboard American Airlines on my way to Frankfurt International Airport in Germany.
Although I will be taking a short detour in the D.C. area, my adventure is truly about to begin (or at least it will at 5:30 tomorrow morning). Even though I'm very excited to embark upon this new and wonderful journey, after some time packing my things, I've realized how little I really am allowed to bring with me (one check-in and one carry-on). Considering the fact I'm trying to account for 11 months of belongings, packing "light" isn't necessarily an easy thing to do.
However, once I do arrive in Germany, I will definitely make an effort to update this blog much more often (perhaps even weekly if I have the electronic availabilities). In doing so, hopefully you'll realize I'm still alive and can figure out what exactly a foreign exchange student gets to do. I also hope to create a vivid image for those of you back home in the States and share my experiences with any who are willing to read them. If you feel the urge, don't hesitate to comment on my posts or just send me a message - I'd be more than happy to hear from any and all of you!
With that said, I believe it's time I headed to bed. It's been quite a long day and I'm sure tomorrow will be even longer. Please keep me in your prayers as I begin this wonderful new step of my life. I will miss everyone here very much, but will most definitely look forward to seeing you upon return.
Never Goodbye,
Danny
