November Update

Hello everyone :) It is I! Jakub, in Schapen, Germany, about to enter my 3rd month of exchange. Time is flying by so fast that I didn't even realize it is November already. Things are still holding up over here, I was blessed to have my birthday in Germany, as not many people get to experience that, but with celebration also comes homesickness. I miss everyone terribly, and often think of everyone in Aurora, Seattle, and elsewhere likewise. I continue to remind myself that I am doing this for myself, and it will help find who I am in life. A year is a long time , I didn't have a perspective of how long it was until now. I have already made so many friends and connections, while still keeping those at home strong. It is difficult, VERY difficult doing this. But I am keeping strong, and making the absolute most of this exchange. Once in a lifetime opportunity, and I'm making it happen. In the meantime, SOME PICS :D We went on our German tour over Autumn break with my Rotary district, and it was absolutely a blast.. We spent 6 days travelling around Germany, mainly to Erfurt, Weimar, Buchenwald (Concentration Camp), Wolfsburg, and finally 3 days in BERLIN! :D Here are some pictures that have surfaced from : In Potsdam! (By Berlin) :
