Translation of afterglow in German

I remember that after highschool I went to study English in New York. First I did not know whether the city was right for me cause I wanted a place where I would not feel lost. However, it was the right choice.
It is late here. I will summarize a few points we discussed and I am looking forward to work with you on this project, hopefully for a long time. I have seen that you have already added a few words.
Thank you for your kind message. I have not done anything for my Spanish because I have too much work at my job. I might write you a letter, but I'm so busy at work that I can't afford other hobbies.
