So, someone brought up this week that tomorrow marks the halfway mark of our study abroad experience...and I'm definitely feeling a big mix of emotions.
Terror: I am so in love with this area and the freedom of this experience. I have changed already so much in basically two months; it's absolutely insane! I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!!!
Confusion: Where the heck did this time go?? Everyone warned me how fast it would proceed...and they were right.
Relief: As much as I love this experience, the comforts of Christmas in New Jersey with my family and friends will be amazing. I think part of the relief came because a lot of people's family/friends have visited and will be visiting during this semester and it reminds me of home. Going back to SJU and seeing Philly will be such an amazing sight.
Acceptance: Time is fleeting here...so I just have to realize that, and make the most of the time I have left.
Next week, a few friends and I are going to Paris, which will be a CRAZY Halloween weekend. Despite the travel warnings, we agreed that we need to see places. We refuse to psyche ourselves out. (Don't worry...Paris will have it's own epic blog post).
And remind me to blog about Dublin soon...it was a great day!
With Irish Blessings,
Jim Jam
Cara Howell's in Paris!
