My Expectations

After the long wait, we are finally preparing to fly over to Germany!  I really can't wait.

So... expectations.  I am looking forward to seeing Leon again, as well as meeting his family.  I really hope that this trip is fun and full of opportunity.  I can't wait to see the history riddled within the walls and streets of Berlin.  I really can't wait to try the food in Germany as well.

I am just very excited because this is my first time on an airplane, let alone leaving the country.  I really want to learn all that I can by being immersed in German life, mostly to improve my verbal comprehension of the language.  I don't do very well when hearing German, but I feel I can get through it in order to improve my fluency overall.

I can't wait to experience all of the locations as well.  I look forward to going to the school and to learn a little about the education system.  I am fascinated with the process that they use for educating German students, and I look forward to comparing the U.S. system to it as well.  Although I expect to be stereotyped when I get there, I will do my best to give and get the benefit of the doubt.

Wish us luck!
