I miss you.
I miss America.
I didn't want to say because I am seeing so many new things and meeting amazing people.
But I finally convinced myself that it is okay to be homesick. Especially, since I am close (yet so far) from going home.
We visited Wust about a week ago, which is a tiny tiny village, where we sang in a sweet little church for the village and they were so receptive, again. Everytime we are about to perform I think to myself, if I have to sing this song again, I'm gonna shoot myself, and then I sing and see what a gift I gave them, and thank God that I even had enough energy and breath to sing.
After Wust, we finished up our class in Quedlinburg and said goodbye to my host family. They were so amazing. I will definitely see them again. I have to.
We visited Leipzig, which is a younger, more energetic city. It is smaller than Berlin, really easy to navigate, and a lot of young college students. It was my favorite city by far. I felt really comfortable, and enjoyed the history and the parks. Yesterday I took that afternoon to myself and went to this big park and laid in the grass for about an hour and a half. Before I left, I bought a bottle of water and some blueberries. I sat in between two beautiful huge trees in front of a pond, and laid my head on my bag and read my book until I fell asleep. It was perfect.
We just got to Dresden today, and honestly the only thing I wanted to do was eat, relax, and get on the internet to see some form of life back home.
Two days here, and then my parents and little brother are coming on TUESDAY!! I am counting down the minutes...(this is slightly to make my mom feel guilty and make her come too)
I love you America, I will be home soon.
Ciao.
