in the home stretch.
22.5 days until i will be on a train to Frankfurt.
23.5 days until i will be on Lufthansa 0446 from Frankfurt to Denver.
23.5 days + 11 hours until i am back in a country where people understand and appreciate me.
ok, maybe that's too harsh...
just have had some setbacks in the last two weeks or so.
now i am SO ready to go home.
only person/thing HERE that's keeping me sane at this point is christoph. so grateful he is willing to ride his bike across town at 11 P.M. when i have a crisis, take me down to the riverside, split a bottle of wine with me, and listen to me vent until 2 A.M.
things i am looking forward to:
--getting my certificate of completion/evaluation from Fulbright and my school
--seeing my parents
--tackling my dog
--seeing my 2 aunts and uncle and 2 cousins who live in colorado
--drinking pomalutes with aunt maribeth (pomalute= pomegranate juice, absolute vodka, tonic, ice, lime =heaven)
--my nanny coming to visit from august 4-18
--seeing my 1st grade teacher and her husband, who live in denver
--seeing my childhood best friend, ryan, who just moved to denver!
--road trip: denver-st. louis-gambier-ann arbor-granger-chicago
--meeting and bonding with my car
--driving. loud music. glass roof open.
--mexican food
--possible august trip to florida to see lizzy
--getting a manicure/pedicure with my mommy
--calling people on my cell phone
--starbucks drive-through
--sushi
--hiking
--going to the hot-springs
--knowing that somehow, i survived this profoundly difficult year.
