It is approximately three days, twelve hours, and thirty minutes until I land in Nashville, TN. It's hard to believe that it's been three months - that I spent three months away from nearly every thing and every place and every one that I know best, that I received this flash flood of language and culture, that I've gotten to know so well some people that I would never have otherwise known, that I've had to (been able to) make decisions for myself and do things on my own and be independent and learn who I am and what I believe about life and politics and humanity and God.
When I think about it, that's a lot for three months. I get worried about having missed out on things back home, but ... why, when I've been able to experience so much?
Two of my favorite classes ever are finished now - only one more exam, a German oral exam, and then a paper due the fourteenth and other than that I have absolutely nothing to do (educationally) until mid-January. That's so nice after this jam-packed semester.
.... I'm going to go watch True Blood.
