Hey Guys !

It’s so freaking crazy how fast time runs. I only have 2 months left and my 8 last month’s here definitely don’t feel like 8 months, they feel like 1 week. Of course during my exchange year I sometimes had times were this year felt like it’s never going to be over but now looking back it just seems like a very very very short time.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t blog in such a long time, but I just never really felt like it. How I’m doing? I’m doing fine. I don’t want to stay here, but I really want to stay here. I don’t want to go back, but I really want to go back.

After Hawaii until now happened a lot. Life happened. I’m only going to tell you about the things which are worth telling:

 I had spring break in which Lara, Celena and I went to Portland, Oregon. It is a beautiful city. This city is filled with culture, love, adventures and people. I loved it.

I also had Prom, which is another dance. But much bigger than Homecoming, the dance which I had in November and Prom is only for juniors and seniors. I went with 4 other exchange student, from Norway, Germany, Switzerland and Thailand. The evening was definitely successful, we had so much fun.

Additionally, I had my last AFS weekend. The weekend was called the “Departure weekend”. We talked about our coming departure. Talking about it gave me two feelings: Sadness and Happiness. On one hand I’m so freaking excited to see all the people I love again, excited to have all the things back I missed so much during this year, excited to be back home, excited to be back in my city… But on the other hand I’m upset and afraid when I think about leaving everything behind me. I’m going to leave a life which I built up the last 8 months. I’m leaving home to go back home. I’m saying goodbye to my friends and family to see my friends and family again. How am I supposed to feel?  

I’m so done with school here. My motivation is getting less and less every day because now every time when I need to school stuff I always think that it is so pointless because I’m going to repeat this year anyways. Whatever the countdown is running: I only have 32 days left with weekends and 24 days left without weekends and then my summer break is finally starting which will be over 3 month. YAY!

Another amazing thing I need to tell you is that my mum is going to come! I’m going to meet her in 34 DAYS in San Francisco and we are going to travel around in California for 10 days and then she will come with me to Boise and spend a couple days with me and my host family. I’m so excited and I can’t believe it that I’m going to have my mum back after not seeing her for over 9 month.  

It is not a long blog post but I guess it is better than nothing!

Love,

Emilia
