Birthday Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will turn sixteen. ""Sweet" Sixteen." "Suess Sechszehn."
Wow. I can't believe I am turning 16 tomorrow. It seems like...well, you all know how fast the time flies!

I remember the first days of high-school, in year 7. And all the "big kids", which were the year 10s at the time, all looked so big and grown up and mature.
Now I look at myself and think...Wow, I am exactly the same age as them, and I don't feel big or grown up or mature.
It is weird to think that the year 7s probably think exactly the same thing about us now. Weird.

On the 3rd June 1990 at around 8pm I was born. I took my first breat of that oh-so-sweet air. (Can't get enough of it since.) ;)
On the 3rd June 2005, I got my "Official Acceptance Certificate" from YFU. It was official, I was going to Germany for a year.
I couldn't believe it, as I saw that thick envelope waiting for me in my letterbox as I walked home from a great day of school. Nikki was walking down my street and I was so excited that I yelled down the street.
I SMSed Kaitlyn and told her, and then I told some friends, as we ate dinner at Zeffe's. I was so excited.

Somehow I didn't quite grasp the big-ness of it.
Going to a foreign country for a year. A year in another family and in a school. I knew everything, what exchange involved. I knew what I would have to do, ging to school and all.
I was still naive though. It hadn't hit me yet.

Well, and a year later look where I am.
On the 3rd June 2006, I will be in Germany. I will be speaking fluent German, accent-free, and almost mistakeless. I will not only look so different, I will be a totally different person inside. My horizons will be broader. I will love someone and something. I will have a second country, family, school and group of friends. I will see other things in people, in opportunities and in the world as before.
But I will still be Vera Elizabeth.

I will just have something else that most people don't have.

My exchange year is nearly over. I am not too sure about the whole coming home thing. On the one hand, I am totally looking forward to everything at home, and I get a warm feeling and smile whenever I think about home. I feel like I am on the homestretch now, and I can see the goal.
On the other hand, I would love to be able to stay just a little longer. Have a little more time here in Braunschweig, because I really do love it here.
Mixed feelings, it is really confusing.

Tonight I am going with some friends that aren't from my class out, including Caro and Anna. We are going to leave in about two hours, and then meeting them all there and going to a bar somewhere. I am going to be drinking for the last time when I am not really allowed. =D

Then tomorrow I am going to sleep in, until Mum rings me up, then I am going to talk to her, have breakfast with my family and maybe eat some cake and stuff, then I am going to meet some friends in the city for a night of partying. =D
Really, I am looking forward to it. It'll be fun.

Well, since I am not really good at those things, like...yea, meaningful speeches or anything, I will leave you to it.

Signing off for my last time, (unable to drink and 15),
