Well, today is the day!
In less than 12 hours I will be on the plane, and by about 2 am tomorrow, I will be in Germany.
My room is a mess, I'm trying to figure out if I'll have time to take a shower, before I go, and I can only one glove, for the 4 hundredth time.
Needless to say, I'm a bundle of conflicting emotions. I'm so excited to be there, but I am loath to leave. Saying goodbye has been really hard, and the worst one--the dreaded but crucial airport goodbye--is still to come. But my weariness of goodbyes has in turn made me more anxious to go, so that it will be over, and I can get down to the hum-drum task of missing everyone!
And now I look at the clock, and I have 45 minutes before I have to leave. So it is time to say Aufwiedersehen. That word, though used in saying farewell, is comforting.
Goodbye, it certainly is, but more literally translated, it signifies "pending our next meeting," or
auf -wieder -sehen
upon (until)-once again-seeing
Aufwiedersehen--until I see you again!

WooHOO!! I'm so psyched for you, Si! Six months sure is a long time, and you're gonna miss... lots of stuff. But you'll also be doing (well, what's the opposite of missing? hitting? hmm) a lot of new things that will be worth it all! Blessings! If you're in London over the next two months, let me know please!
Siah I need you to send me the emails! Somehow I ended up not being on your sending-list! This si atragedy! email it to my gmail, please!
I miss you and love you!
