too tired to have a title. I - the missing link from BUBW to NVA

Time is an important factor of an exchange year. You know that your time in another country is limited. There are moments where you wish that time passes by faster because you miss someone at home, have trouble, or just feel uncomfortable in your new, foreign environment. It feels like an eternity, and you think when you'll come home, everything has changed and you missed all of it.

There are also moments where you totally forget about the time. You experience something new, try out new things, or some event is going on. It can be hanging out with new friends for the first time, homecoming, or your first american football match. You just enjoy the moment.

And then, there are moments when you realize: WHAT THE HECK I HAVE TO GO HOME IN 60 DAYS?!?! 

Guess which one I am experience right now :)

It is crazy, for me it still feels like the year just started, like christmas was a week ago, and I just turned 18. I'm still waiting for some snow, but actually it's going to be 31° Celsius (88°F) next week.

It is may, the last full month I'll spend in Atlanta, and I have only 15 days of school left. Didn't I just come back from the BUBW ? Oh, it's also almost a quarter-year ago.  

Why does time suddenly pass by faster than Gareth Bale against Barcelona? What happened between now and then?! Well, actually a lot...

I guess I mentioned that I didn't make the Boys Varsity Soccer Team, but became the manager. And do you know what? The whole season ended 2 weeks ago, with a victory against the Region-champions. It was not the most successful season, many people got injured, including a broken knee cap of one of my best american friends (get well soon Jordan!) at a game against our biggest rival.

I probably carried arounds a hundred liter of water (or some weird odd number of fluid ounces), and caught 5820439 soccer balls. Doesn't sound that exciting, but it was just great fun to support and spend time with an awesome team! (Best way to collect 100h community hours. )If one of you will read this: I won't forget you guys, thanks for everything! 1 2 3 BULLDOGS! <3

Soccer was not the only thing that was going on, I also got visited by two of my brothers! It is a very weird feeling, like two worlds crashing together. People from my "old" life in my "new" life? Bizaaaaaarre.
However, it was exciting to see them again and do some sightseeing with them, from CNN and the     Georgia Aquarium to Martin Luther King Jr. Graveside and Birthhouse.

Well, and then there was spring break and it was legen....wait for it....:)
