Oh la la...
I wish that I knew what I know now...
Okay, so, I said that I would update, and now I am.
All right, I'm talking to a friend of mine that was in France this past semester, and we're talking about missing it and all, and it makes me realize more how much that I do miss France. I have missed it more and more each day; all I want to do is go back there. I loved my life over there; I loved everything about it. I mean, there were bad parts about being over there, do not get me wrong. I missed my family a ton and my friends and sisters. I missed being able to call home whenever I want. However, I loved the food, the cities, the way of life. I felt at home over there. I feel at home over here, as well, but...I changed over there, I think. I became more confident in myself because I had to do everything by myself; I traveled to other countries by myself (including France originally). I arrived in France all alone and made my way to Nantes without any help from people that I know. I traveled to Madrid by plane by myself (I met up with friends there). I learned to rely on myself. My family over there was amazing; I miss the house and the food and them. I could not have asked for a better family.
Sorry about the rant. I just...
when I was younger.
In September, it will be a year since I left for France. That's really hard to imagine that it has been a year since I left on this life-altering trip. It's something that is hard for some to understand, and this is not a slam towards anyone, but it is hard to imagine, isn't it, if you haven't been abroad like that? I mean, from person experience, I never understood what people meant by all of this until it all happened to me.
Sorry about all of the complications.
Vacation was good. I enjoyed the relaxation and visiting of friends and family. My bestest friendie was there (aka the roommie) so that was really nice because I don't get to see her over the summer due to me living so far away from everything and everyone. So it was nice to see her again. I listened to a lot of music (how I love my iPod) and finished two books. I saw two movies (one good and one bad - North Country [good] and The Family Stone [bad]) and slept on a pull-out bed, which was not very comfortable, but I still was allowed to sleep in, so I cannot complain too much. I did not get too much sun, which is a big plus (I enjoy my pale-ness) and I ate amazing food...plus, I turned the big 2-1, which is good thing, or at least I believe so. Overall, wonderful vacation.
Work is going all right; I cannot complain. I enjoy it for the most part; the people are friendly and I like where I work. So, that is good. I have flexible hours and I am finally making friends. (That is probably the best part.)
I wish that I knew what I know now...
It is weird to think that I am going to be a senior in college. I remember being a senior in high school and being extremely excited and I remember how disappointed I was with the school year. I remember that people were so excited to graduate and everything, but they didn't want to because they'd be leaving all of their friends behind; it's funny to know that I wanted to graduate so I could get away from all of those people. It's weird to think how much that I have changed and how much that I have left behind; I have grown so much. I don't keep in touch with many people from high school...only a couple. And we're the ones that wanted to get away, that wanted to leave behind everything and start anew. And now, as I enter that same phase in college, I realize how sad of a year that this will be; I do not want to leave college. It has been an amazing time and I have become a better person (or so I would like to believe). Yeah, there are still some things that could be changed, but I have a year to accomplish that, so who knows.
when I was stronger.
Bisous.
