Almost Over!

“Home of The Pointers”

In 3 short days (technically 7 days, but Monday we have a bowling trip and I’m going to visit colleges Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday) my sophomore year will be over here , and my new school for my junior year will be somewhere in Germany.. I may not have been going to West Point for very long, but in that short amount of time I have met some of the most amazing people. 🙂 People who were there for me when I felt like I was on top of the world, and for times when I felt like my whole world was crashing down. These are the people who I will never forget. The people who have made a difference in my life.. for better & for worse. I will always be a Pointer. ❤ So, here’s to the Old, the New, and the Not Yet Met. 😀

This is just perfect. 🙂

Wie sagt man...?

Exchange is realizing that everything they told you beforehand is wrong, but also right in a way.
Exchange is going from thinking you know who you are, to having no idea who you are anymore to being someone new. But not entirely new. You are still the person you were before but you jumped into that ice cold lake. You know how it feels like to be on your own. Away from home, with no one you really know. And you find out that you can actually do it.
Exchange is learning to trust. Trust people, who, at first, are only names on a piece of paper, trust that they want the best for you, that they care. Trust, that you have…

Forever Waiting

“Things worth having are worth waiting for..”

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been SO busy with school, sports, and getting ready for my departure 🙂 ! My grades have been bothering me lately, due to the fact it has been somewhat of a struggle to keep a 3.0 GPA. Maybe it’s because there are only 87 days until I leave for DC 😉 . Anyways, I am still waiting for a host family (sadly). I haven’t really been waiting that long (since I turned in my secondary application) , buuuut if you include the wait starting when I first applied for this scholarship.. it has been an EXTREMELY  long wait. I am really hoping for a host family with horses, horses are my life. ❤ I really would like to have siblings as well, considering the fact that I am an only child. I cant wait to get that one special email that will hold my host family letter! Then I can find them on Facebook and Skype them and this experience will become so much more “real”. 😀 I am so so so ready to embark on this adventure. HURRY UP AUGUST, WE NEED YOU. Yes, I will miss everyone here in America, but this experience will change my and 249 other students lives f o r e v e r. 🙂 So bring on the sausages, broetchen, and fun. Because us CIEEer’s are ready!!

-xoxo,

Joy’e ❤
