Last European Post

I leave tomorrow. Wow. In less than 24 hours, I will be on a plane.
This last week has gone by very quickly, and I'm beginning to realize how much I will miss the city. We finally have snow, I'm done with finals, and I am just trying to enjoy every moment.

Tonight is my last night in Vienna, and I'm going to the Opera House to see the Nutcracker Ballet! It should be a good capstone on this wonderful semester.

In anticipation of going home, here are 10 things I plan on doing in my first 24 hours in Goshen:

1. Play with my dogs, Grissom and Boomer.
2. Get a haircut.
3. Go to the Brew for an Italian Soda (ironic, since I'm so much closer to Italy right now).
4. Play my violin! It's been four months, the longest I've gone since kindergarten without touching a string instrument.
5. Take a bath. I didn't have a bathtub here.
6. Eat chocolate chip cookies (Mom and Dad are bringing some to the airport)!
7. Put up my Christmas ornaments.
8. Begin unpacking/do my laundry...
9. Meet up with friends!!!
10. Go to Friedenswald for a Summer Staff reunion!

Given the fact that I will be incredibly tired and jet-lagged, maybe I should change this from 24 hours to 48. I'm just so excited to come home!

Stay posted for a final update when I'm back in the States.

I love you all.
