(no subject)
so my exchange year is almost at an end. i have been here for over 300 days and i have 6 days left till I am back in the USA. this year has easily been the weirdest, toughest, best, funniest,craziest, crunkest, most interesting year of my life. people often ask me what i have learned, but i can never give them an answer although i know that i have learned so much! i'm hoping that once i'm back in my "natural environment" of Wilmington, Delaware i will start to understand what it is that i have learned here in Sweden.
i am leaving for Stockholm on Sunday at 9.11 in the morning, and i just can't expect how it's going to be. I have already had to say goodbye to some people, but these certain people weren't incredibly close to me. I cant expect the emotions that i will be going through then, maybe i will cry, maybe i will laugh, maybe i will be in shock...i really dont know. but at the same time, my flight back to the USA on tuesday will be incredibly weird. i will have said my last goodbyes (except to the american afsers) and i will have read my flag with handwritten notes from my friends. i will have probably started talking english again, and thinking about seeing my family. something that i have wanted to do for so long. but all in all i know that i will miss my Sweden. mitt liv här. my life here. as my friend today said "it feels like you have been here forever" and it does feel like that, i have established a great life here, that will be devasting to leave, and know that i will never be able to return to this place and time. but i have come to understand that that's just life, and i can only look into the future. and that is what i will do, i promise that i will come back. to show my family my Sweden and my Siljansnäs. i also hope to show my friends my Delaware and USA and everything that i have there. but for now, i will just enjoy my last days...every single second.
