A giant leap.

All along this fifteen days I had to think a lot. I am getting used to this new life. The first days I thought it would be difficult. Sometimes I thought I would go ape. However, as time went on, I had a change of heart. I began to scratch the surface of this culture, and I am fascinated with this new way of life. My German is still improving, time to time, I would say quite slowly, but I am not crazy about that. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. I know that the fluency will come without me realizing it, and by now it is not a real problem.

During this time my emotions were multiplied by 10, or even more. The process started about fifteen days before my departure, so I can celebrate today one month of the whole issue. I know that the things in my old place will remain almost the same, and the people I used to be loved by will continue loving me when I return. If you want to know what I exactly feel nowadays, I am afraid I am not able to tell you, because I really don't know that. I only know that here my mind is open to everything, just because everything is the rule here and I have to accustom yes or yes. I feel comfortable every time, I don't miss many things and the people here give me good vibes, even though they don't know me. Some situations outside home are still a bit strange, but I try not to care about that. I give it the benefit of the doubt. My brother is great as well as my parents and everyone here. I won't bite the dust.

I know I took a big leap. But it is no time to regrets. I don't want to turn back the clock. That is not my purpose. I am sure I am making a safe bet. I spent a lot of time planning this project. Now, it's time to get the ball rolling. Cheers!
