<p>Still cant believe that Im gonna leave my homecountry soon to study in the US for at least 4 years...Leaving my family, friends and especially my girlfriend is such a big step and I never really thought about how I would take it. How are you guys feeling while experiencing somehow the same situation right now. </p>
<p>I mean, I dont ever think about reconsider my descision, but still...hard step to take.</p>
<p>In the months, weeks and days before I went abroad, I kept thinking “I still have to realize what I am about to do” because I did not feel sad about the prospect of leaving at all. I kept thinking that after I hugged my family goodbye at the airport, and even after I had moved into my dorm room.</p>
<p>I am the kind of person who usually starts to cry when she says goodbye for more than a few weeks, so I was very surprised by myself. For a while I thought that I had never really said goodbye to Germany, but I guess leaving others behind was a lot easier than being left behind…</p>
