Tired
I'm going to be in Germany in three days. Its not my native country. I don't go there all time or have the ability to do so. I'm going with a close friend to visit more other great friends. I'm going to be there for a whole week.
So how is it possible for so many people to ask such a stupid question as "are you excited?" I mean, should I be excited? Should I be thrilled that I'm a young adult lucky enough to travel so far for so long with great people? Should I be ecstatic about seeing another culture and being in a city that isn't a hell hole like Cleveland?
I know they all mean well but I find to be a counter productive question. How can I give anyone an excited enough answer when they ask? I almost yelled at someone for asking me that last night. I'm surprised by how well I held back and only spoke sternly. But I was not sorry for being irritated, nor would I have been sorry had I yelled.
Of course I'm excited to go. I've been so ready to leave Cleveland, school, and a lot people in of those contexts. Right now a week does not sound long enough. I'm so glad I'm going home the weekend after I'm back.
