Month One

This is it. I have made it though the black out. I have done it. I am proud. I am humbled. I can do this.

I swear I didn't turn 17 this past month. I turned 30. I do not know where I would be if did not choose to go on exchange. I know it is cheesy but I am a new person.

I could go on and on about what I learned and what I did, but right now I have no words to express.

I am the luckiest girl in the world. We did it. The month. I didn't break.

I get to talk to my family soon and again I am speechless. I have a flood of thoughts in my head. Do I have an accent now? What happens if I get tired and want to sleep? What if something is awkward? 

I don't know what to say. I just want to hear their voices. 

I look at the first month and I now know why I am so speechless- if all this happened in a month then what will happen in the next 11. 

It went so fast.

I am doing this. This is happening.
