I can't believe it, I finally feel like my time is running up here. I've gotten so comfortable here, I sometimes forget that I am actually in France. The only thing reminding me that I am miles and miles, knots and knots away is that I haven't seen my family in nearly 4 months.
It's been work, exam, miss class, miss class, work, exam, work here at the University of Caen lately. I actually wrote an essay in 2 hours this morning, so happy I did anything. I really started to fear for myself around 10am this morning, with nothing on paper. But I did it, and I hope my teacher doesn't cry or cuss when she takes a look at it. Not exactly a great paper. I have had two exams this week, and more to come. Then its reviews and terminal exams. Everything I've been doing for the last two weeks has been preparing me to leave Caen.
Not that leaving is a bad thing. 4 months is more than enough time in a place that's not home.
And I am going to travel with friends from home! I am so excited. Especially because Kim, Stephen, and I have been drifting apart for the last year. It'll be great to get some time with them. Maybe revive things a little. It's too bad that Kim seems to have no desire to see Tara. I guess that's kinda the problem... sigh.
But I am going to be so pleased making all of these reservations. Each hostel I book and train reservation is just one more step to coming home.
I miss my cat.
