I'm Breaking Free

I'm busting out of this country. Okay, so I am actually going to England for a week but, same diff. I'm really excited abou this trip. It's all expenses paid for so, it's all good. I'm pretty darn lucky. We're leaving on Monday night from Metz and I'll return super early sunday morning. It'll be crazy. Oh dear, hold on tight.

I have to go. We're going country visiting today; potentially on bicycle. See you after I see those redcoats...


P.S. I got my camera back from Italy. Finally. After England, there'll be pictures up of my life.

Bisous

The start of the end

I am starting to stress out, I have absolutly no time left. Literally, NONE. I have something to do until the day that I get back onto that plane to cross the Atlantique and leave my french life on pause. THis weekend, we're going somewhere near Lyon and the Alpes and then, on Monday, I'm leaving for England for a week of being a chaperone on a sophomore school trip that is all paid. =) Then, when I get back, that week is Jen and Heather week. We're going to EuroDisney and partying it up in Bar le Fricking Duc =)/ It's going to be a great week. Then, that Friday, Heather and I are going to a big rotary dinner in honour of my second host dad who is going to become the president of our rotary club. The dinner is in a castle. Ah la classe. HTen, the next day, we're heading to meet up with all of the other exchange students near Luxembourg for the day and eventually the night with a bamf party. That sunday will be the last day that I see my best friend Heather here in France! It will be so very sad. That Monday, the 29th of June, I leave by myself for the south of France. I'm going to spend 12 days in Antibes, a city near Nice on the French Riviera with my cousin, Lydia. On the 10th of July, I'll return to Nancy and maybe spend the weekend at my english teacher's house. Then, I'll have one week before I come home.

Whew! I'm already tired from thinking about these next 6 weeks.

While not having any time to myself, I am happy and sad. I can't decide if I'm really excited to go home or heartbroken. I love my life here but, at the same time, I love my life there too. I don't think that I'll ever really be ready to leave everything here in France. I believe that the hardest think is leaving my friends. The other exchange students are the coolest people ever! What will I do next year without Heather and Kevin? They are so amazing. She is literally me. She loves Julie Andrews with a passion. The only difference is that we're shaped a little different and she says soda instead of pop (which is really annoying) She's my best friend and I don't know what I'll do without her when she leaves. I don't want to grow up and go to college by myself and start my real life.

I'm going to go and start packing. Oh yea, did I mention that I have to pack my bags to go home to the States now, in 3 days? Why is my life so difficult? While always on the move, I wouldn't change any of it for the world.

Bisous.
