Three Months!

I can't believe I have been away from home three months. Time is just flying by. In these last three months I have travelled, gone out of my comfort zone more than a dozen times and I am so proud of myself. I have days that are better than others but I try and take the bad days a learn from them. So far I have learned that if I want to do something I just have to do it and not think about it. This is my time to experience everything  and grow as much as I can. The thing I am most proud of is going out of my comfort zone because I am a shy person and for me putting myself in a group of people I don't know trying to make friends really scared me but I knew that I had to suck it up and so I did. I have met some really great people that make my time here in Colonge a lot of fun. If I hadn't gone out of my comfort zone I never would have experienced what I have experienced so far.
From when I first got here to now my German has improved tremendously. I do some German everyday and I can understand a little. I have days where I find German harder than math and I just want to give up but then I realize how much I have improved and how much more I am going to improve.  I have come to realize that if everything in life was easy then I would never grow or be able to challenge myself and thats what this whole experience is about. I can't wait for what the next nine months to come especially July!!
