Farewell

After all, seasons change

So do cities.

People come into your life,

And people go.

But it’s comforting to know

the ones you love are always in your heart.

And if you’re very lucky

A plane ride away.


So that may just be a quote from Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, but I found it rather fitting. I'm flying home today after spending four months in a foreign country. I'm so excited to be home and see everyone and everything I missed, but it's definitely bittersweet. I know I'm going to miss it here, especially the friends I've made. But c'est la vie, I suppose.

It's hard to believe my next update will be from across the ocean!

I never thought this week would come

Long time, no blog, eh? Life in Europe is hectic, what can I say? Haha, no good excuses here, just kept forgetting to update. And somehow it's my last week in Paris. I've been saying the whole time I've been here that time just seems to go faster here. I still believe that.

In the past month and a half, I've been to London, Belgium, braved a 10 day long metro strike (when I live 45 minutes from my school walking!), had my boyfriend come visit, and went to Vienna! Not to mention that I've had classes and tried to do things in Paris in the meantime.

I just can't bring myself to write my goodbye post yet, because as much as I'm ready to be home, I'm not ready to leave. I get a pang of sadness every time I have one of those "last moments." I had my last fashion class today. I'll have one of my last baguettes tonight. I'll have my last crepe on Thursday. And my last night in Paris is Friday.


So soon, soon I'll be home, hopefully celebrating a white Christmas and getting to see everyone that I've missed for so long. Maybe I'll even put some more pictures up from my travels.
