Here am I
sitting, waiting for my flight.
Yes, know
it is a bit weird. Other exchange students start their blogs when they are
actually going on exchange. MY first post is about sitting on the airport and
going back home.
I have
lived in Finland for a year and today is the day I’m going to see my home
country Germany again for the first time after all these months.
If I am
excited? Definitely! But I am also scared. I don’t know what is going to happen
at home. We all have changed. A year is long. Sitting here I have the same
feeling as on the day I left. I can’t even imagine anything about the future. I
don’t have a clue.
On the one
hand, I can’t wait to get into the airplane. On the other hand, I would just
love to run away and let the biggest adventure of my life (so far) never end.
Already on the carried to the airport I realized how much I love Finland and
how beautiful the country is. Even from the airport windows I can see the amazing
Finnish forest. I will miss the nature so much!
Now I’m sure: I want to run
away!
But I’m
just sitting here watching the people. They are drinking coffee, eating,
waiting like me.
Others are
almost hectically to the gates because their flights are leaving soon.
By the way,
I love airports. Airports are so international. You’re in only one country but
at the same time in the whole world. There are so many languages spoken at an
airport, there are so many different people. It feels like everyone from all
over the world is coming together at airports.
Sometimes I
wonder whether people are going home after a trip or whether they are leaving
home for travelling.
And now I
am wondering the same about me.
