September 24th, a regular day, a Tuesday, the day I went to Germany. Excitement doesn't begin to cover it. For years I had been trying to get to Germany and once it was here, I didn't know how to process it. I'm the type of person who likes to think up Facebook statuses for various life events in advance. However instead of a long insightful anecdote, I just posted about how excited I was to post it.
Here I am! Leaving for Germany! Packed much lighter than I ever had and already I'm wishing I had packed even lighter.
My time in Norway was brief and spent mostly trying to acquire some coins for my brother. By the time I attempted to use the internet it was a few minutes before boarding. BOARDING A PLANE TO DEUTSCHLAND! (Excitement level hasn't gone down much).
I've flown through Germany once before as a layover traveling from France to the United States however I couldn't leave the airport. The professor of the course I was traveling with told me numerous times that if I left the airport, thus missing my flight, I would fail the course. Being the good student I was, I didn't leave the airport. But this time was different....
I LEFT MUNICH AIRPORT!!!!!!!
After successfully speaking in German to the man at the train ticket desk I sought out the S bahn.
Following the directions I was told in German, I easily located the platform and waited for my train.
I made it to the hostel within 3 hours of my plane landing. I think that's pretty good considering I had to wait for my checked bag & had a 45 minute train ride.
