Yes..

Well to start I am finally here in Germany!!!! It was a big slap in the face to me. The whole entire thing..actually leaving my family, realizing I won't see them for a year, stepping off the plane and hearing German instead of English, not knowing what is really going on, seeing people bike through the airport. I knew I would get culture shock and all that good stuff. But I guess I really just put off thinking about the details of my exchange, because I always felt like it was soo far away. It always felt like, yeah im going to Germany... later. And then it came and smacked me in the face. Culture shock is real, and especially if you weren't really anticipating it as much as you should of, like me, it can be difficult. The sensation is hard to explain. I believe one must actually experience it to understand it, but it can be described as exhilarating, amazing, thought provoking, tiresome, tingly, and there is many more adjectives to describe it. But so far so good, everything is good, and I really like it so far. I will post soon with some pictures of my city, school, family, home, etc.
