it is incredibly bizarre to think that the past 5 months have already passed. i feel like i have only been in Paris for like a week, but at the same time i feel like I have been here for years.
its amazing how people adjust. how i have adjusted.
having english back in my life again all the time will be very strange. eves-dropping, asking questions and being able to answer questions without thinking so much. I have started thinking and dreaming in french. i wonder if my dreams will change.
my flat-mate marni is leaving in 2 days. it will be weird without her here. ill miss her, a lot. more than i ever thought i was going to. she has become a wonderful friend over the past few months, and i wouldn't trade her in for anything.
because of her, and other people of course, i now understand what people meant when they said that i was going to make friends that i would remember for the rest of my life.
but i cannot be too sad because i have some of those kinds of people in the US that i cannot wait to see.
and to those people, you know who you are, thank you for your messages and your letters. it really means the world to me to know that i haven't been forgotten over the past 5 months. and i thought of you all every day too.
maintenant, je dois étudier.
[i procrastinate in Paris too.]
