meine Zeit in Deustschland ist leider zu Ende

so. I am packed, tired, and ready to fly. Physically, that is. Mentally, I am still not ready to go. All of my friends are sad, and so am I. I don't want to leave them, my family, or this country. I have done a lot since the last time I wrote. I cook traditional american snacks for my host family, which I ended up eating. I cooked my host family an american meal of hamburgers and beer battered pickles. it was very tasty, but took a lot longer than i thought. on wednesday i had my goodbye party. it was a lot of fun. we all ate pizza and enjoyed ourselves. i thought it would be hard to say goodbye then, but it wasn't. but today, man that sucked. my class prepared a going away gift for me, which i didn't know about. i almost, but luckily didn't, cried. it was very hard saying goodbye to all of my friends. I even cried a bit today, which is saying a lot, considering the fact that i hardly ever cry. i do know, however, that i will cry even more tomorrow in the airport. i had a little goodbye party with my best friend, Fabian. it was fun, but short. i just can't wait to skype with him on saturday. it will be the highlight of my day. until then. I will miss you Germany. thanks for being so nice to me.
