#42 99 days left

Hey everyone,

I can’t believe it, but I have less than 99 days in the US!!

Where did the time go? I still remember how I had 3 months left in Germany and was super excited to come here. The exchange students who go this year probably feel the same and the ones here know who fast the time goes by. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are already over, only my birthday, eastern and Prom is left..

I feel like it was just last week that we all were in New York and I met my host family for the first time. I am just so into my life here right now and so integrated that I can’t even imagine living in Germany. Whenever my friends make plans for the summer and next year I think “oh cool, that’s gonna be fun” at first, but then I realize I won’t even be here by then.

I already know that it will be super sad to say goodbye to everyone, I’m not only a guest anymore, I am a part of my family and of my High School.

It’s so sweet how my friends and family want me to stay here and I even had parents asking me if they can just adopt me :D

For sure, I will enjoy my last couple months here and hopefully, I will travel and see a lot. Soon I am done with my bucket list, from 50 things I have about 15 left.

My sister and I can’t wait for Prom and already look at dresses, where we can get out hair done etc. :D

And in 4 days I will turn 17, I’m so old haha :D
