the end is near.
i am boarding the plane in 12 hours and 7 minutes.
i cant believe it.
i have some mixed feelings.
believe, i big part of me does not want to go home. this has been without a doubt the best experience of my life, and i dont want it end. i cant tell you how many times i have burst into tears.
i have a few friends (see past entries), that arent the kind of friends i want halfway across the world. they are the type of friends i have dinner with weekly...can knock on their door "just because."
but then again, it is time to go home. Sancta is very, very quiet here. i've conquered nearly everything i sought out to do down under. i've lots of trips throughout the country (although, it's huge and i know places i want to go when i return!). my checking account has never been so pathetic. it's the holiday season. it is time to move on.
everyone at home wants me home. i cant tell you how excited my mom is for me to come home...she has already stocked the kitchen with salmon, spinach, cranberries, sweet potatoes, and bananas, and has promised to fix me some mexican food (which i have missed!)
i have friends who leave me messages and for the few that i've talked to on the phone, are so excited to see me again. i even have a quote-unquote little nephew to meet.
so here the tears go again... it's just that i love this place so much. i really, really do. it's time to go...but it's going to be very very hard to leave tomorrow (well, it's 3am, so today).
((i have my last fitness class in the morning (a mere 3 hours from now)... one last look at the Harbour, breakfast at the notourous Bill's with Ivanka... goodbye to some staff at Sancta, and getting picked up at 12pm to head to the airport.))
so please, when i return... first understand that part of me is very very excited to see you all again, because although i have made some great friends down under, the could never replace you all. but also, i hope you all realize that part of me is going to be sad to leave all of this (*looking around.)
so anyway...i fly into DC at 10:15pm Tuesday night. Wednesday i'll probably sleep alot..but otherwise do call. do call.
