It seems like everything these days is bitter sweet. Last Saturday the 6th was our last day of school. It is great that summer is here but at the same time i miss school. The last week was great! On Monday we had our class dinner and then all hung out all night. Toward the end of the week my friends came over and we made some more American cookies so I could bring them to school on Saturday. We didn't do really anything the last day but it was all because the excitement comes after the bell rings.(I'll get to that in a second) But as i was walking out of the class i just was like wow, I'll never be a student here again. Then I have no idea why but as i was walking out of the school I started tearing up, man has this place impacted me.Everyone was like awwww and i was like no seriously this is sad stuff, its the end of another chapter in my life. Growing up kinda sucks you know :/ But then right when the bell rang eggs were launched into the crowd...and so began the longest water fight I've ever seen. I went across the street to find my friends from the 5th year and i found them, next to the open fire hydrant. lol They had opened it up and water was everywhere! Within seconds i was soaked. Luckily I avoided the flour and eggs that were flying all over the place. After about an hour we went to the park where we found like the every kid in our town. What little I was dried off on the way over there was useless cause i got soaked again. Oh and attacked by shaving cream. There were people everywhere!!! And then people started jumping in the lake and throwing people in. It was crazy! Sure don't do it like that in America! the end of school is craziness for sure! Then i came home to shower before going to Armani with Frida and Leo. I finished my gift shopping for people at home!! Ian is going to be the classiest baby :) After I met my friends in Corlo. I also discovered that it is very very hard to ride a bike with 2 people, 5 pizzas, and a 2liter of coke lol. We got ready together and then went to Rockville. Pretty much everyone in the area goes to the Disco the night of the last day of school. It was the greatest time for sure because it was all outside in the mountains, the music was great and I was with my besties here :) It was an AMAZING DAY!!!
And now that summer has started I've taken it slow. well I'm trying to slow down everything cause I'm not ready to go home at all! I am trying to spend a lot of time with my family and friends. And my closest friend Frida. She goes home before me so we both are just trying to not think of going home. At the same time we spent 30minutes yesterday thinking of reasons we want to go home so we can convince ourselves we are ready.But no worries I'll be glad to get there once i say my goodbyes. Oh almost forgot, on Friday night I called Erica with the web cam and I got to talk to Nick, Gracie and my nephew Ian Troy(OK well he's in her belly still so it doesn't' count completely) And then since they were in Nebraska for our family reunion Erica took her laptop around at dinner and I got to see all my family and say hi. Yeah it was like midnight here but hey i was at my family reunion for a while :)
Since I always right something about the culture or something I've learned I have a big one for you guys....I have decided to start all over, from square one. When I get home I'm selling like all the crud in my room, selling most of my clothes and redoing my room...starting over. This semester has really changed me, I mean I have survived just fine for 5 months with just a small fraction of what I have always had so why do I need all of it when i get home? I already know what I want to do with my room and it is basically going to be my bed, side tables, shelf thingy and a table and that's it. Its about time I simplify things. And the clothes thing, I really don't use all my clothes so why do I keep them? I have no idea, I'll just get rid of them. Life is going to be a lot easier without all the materialistic things. Another thing I've learned is that you can live without the material things but without your loved ones its a challenge. The 6,000miles is nothing when it comes to all the stuff I have at home but the family and friends being so far away for 5 months is what really affects you. Right now I'm stuck, I have to leave family and friends here too but to return to my other friends and family. I think its going to be the hardest thing I've ever down. My best friend here goes home the 28th so that will be a real challenge. Adding 6,000 miles the other way hurts hurts just as much. But with all this in mind I'm coming back, I have to. Talk about a lasting impact. With my recent decision to start over and all the other things I've learned and grown from I can honestly say that coming here is the smartest thing I've ever done with my life.
Love you all, I'll be on US soil in just 25days :/ See you soon!
