Und Jetzt Ich bin ein Ausländer. Return to America

It has been a rough transition coming back to the states. Instead of excitement upon touchdown at ORD, it was panic, nervousness, and tears. I'm sure this is a testament to how truly wonderful all the people I met in Germany were and how amazing my time spent there was. I cannot thank all those enough who were a part of my time there and it is certainly a part of my life I will always cherish deeply. It saddens me to be back on American soil. It makes my life seem a little more boring which scares me. I hope I will be able to find a way to re-acclimate myself with America. It's a strange thing about coming back to a place you've been gone from for so long. You want to blame the change on everything else but really it's you that's changed.
It's so wonderful to see all my friends and family again, also comforting to see how much they have missed me but I still cannot muster up the lie that I'm happy to be back. I never thought that I would have these feelings after months of wishing to be here instead of there.

My trip with Holly was wonderful and maybe when I have some more time I will post some highlights. Either way, this blog is coming to a close seeing as I am no longer 'Rockin Ramersbach'.
