Loving every second here.

My time here is getting closer and closer to ending. I finished my last day of school at Folkuniversitetet Friday. It was a really bitter sweet day. I actually started crying, I surprised myself, I didn't think it was possible to get so attached to a place and make such good friends in a short period of time. I feel like part of me belongs here in Sweden and when I leave I will leave a piece of me here. I will have to come back, actually, I am planning on coming back, and that will make my goodbye a lot easier to handle. I am grateful for every single experience that I have been through here, it has really helped me grow as a person. Even though I am leaving soon, I am having the time of my life, why not enjoy every second I am here right? I am so glad I came to such a great school and made such amazing friends. I know some of the friendships I have made will last a lifetime even though we will be almost half way across the world from each other. It just gives me an excuse to come back, and travel more :).
Tonight my sister and mom will be here in Sweden with me! I am so excited to see them, it seems sort of surreal that I will actually be able to talk to them in person, and give them a big hug :). On Wednesday me and my sister will head to Italy to spend Christmas with our friend Alessandra, after that we will meet up with my mom in Paris and spend a few days there, we will then come back to Sweden for a few more days, and then head back to the U.S. I still have many many more amazing experiences to come in this short amount of time, and I am so excited I will have a travel buddy going to Italy this time, and France.

A while back I mentioned I regret some things from the beginning of my trip here and I wished a could go back and redo it. My friend Linnea was telling me the other day that I shouldn't regret anything because If I did things differently It wouldn't be the way it is right now, and I am SO happy with the way my time here has turned out and the great friendships made. So she's right, I;m not going to regret anything that has happened during this trip, because everything has lead up to something great.

I will try to keep my blog updated until the day I leave! Until next time!
