Mia abroad in the US 2018/19

Also the second of Orientation was super cool 🗽 In the morning we had workshops again and as conclusion we had a little game show, where the teams were playing against eachother. Unfortunaly my team (the green team 💚) didn´t won, but we were on the second place. In the afternoon we visited New York City again. At first we did a guided tour through the famous Central park and we saw a lot of places where famous series and movies were filmed (e.g. we saw the place where Blaire and Chuck get married in Gossip Girl). After that we went on the "Top of the Rock" (Rockefeller Center). The view over Manhattan was breathtaking and I took a lot of beautiful pictures. Naturally we had free time and this time we had it on the Time Square and parts of the Broadway. That was pretty cool. At the End we had Dinner in a Restaurant called Opry City Stage. I had a cheesburger (I ate my first american burger 🍔 Yummy!). It was really tasty and really much, so I didn´t had enough space f...

Tuesday was my big day. I flight with more than 50 other exchange students to Newark for the Orientation Days. After everyone said goodbye to his/her parents we went to the security check. At the Gate we met the students, which already had a flight to Frankfurt. Together with the students, which sat in the same row than me, I went on to the plain. Overall we flight 8 1/2 hours, which pased by extremely slow. At the end we arrived at Newark Liberty Airport very well. But bevor we could collect our suitcases, we needed to get through the border control. On hour later everyone made his way to the border control and picked up his luggage. Then we went to our hotel in Parsipanny by a coach. The employers of AYA, the american organisation, welcome us very friendly and we get a folder with some important information and the t-shirts we were supposed to wear during the Orientation Days. Directly after the dinner we had a short meeting were we regionized that the majority of the exch...

When I thought about that in the last month, I couldn´t imagine to pack up my things for a whole year. But now I did.😃 Unlike I thought I´ll do it, I didn´t wrote a list with the things I like to take with me. Because I´ll stay in Texas I almost only need war-weather clothes. So I take the clothes I want to take with and sort them in little piles. Then I packed those little piles in my suitcase and it fits. Unfortunaly my suitcase weight to much so I needed to decide which clothes I won´t need. Now I´m finished with packing my suitcase and I hope that I won´t buy too much things in New York. Otherwise I´ll need to repack my things in New York😂.

I can´t imagine that I´ll already fly in one week. With more than 30 other exchange students I´ll spend 4 days in New York.🗽 Everything starts next Tuesday. My parents will drive me to the airport in Frankfurt, where I need to say goodbye to them. I am totally excited and can´t wait to start. But there are still things I need to do until next Tuesday. Amongst other things I need to pack my suitcase and activate my sim-card for the US. The most crazy thing is, that I still can´t realize that I´ll go. Also I´m a bit sad because I won´t see the most of my friends again before I fly.😭 I hope I´ll have week with less stress and have time for relaxing.🙈
