Well I'm sadly packing up my room and getting ready to fly back to America tomorrow. A few days ago I thought I was ready. But now that it's crunch time I can't even think about it. After hearing a speech at our closing ceremony in which a comical kid from Skidmore explained how much he hates the "study abroad will change your life" phrase cause it takes something so unique and personal and makes it generic. And that it did change his life, but he couldn't explain that to everyone because everyone didn't stay in Copenhagen. I think he was right, it changed my life but I'm not going to stamp a cliche like that on it.
I think it's a great thing that I don't want to leave. And I'm sure I feel completely American again after only a few days of adjusting. But those in NZ (or Ireland), who still have a month or so left, cherish every fucking moment, because you're not going to want to leave, and you're probably going to feel pretty shitty your last day as you think back about a crazy semester in a foreign country! It's a good thing though, fo sho. I felt the need to get this past out there, my mind is racing.
I look forward to seeing all your beautiful faces either this summer or in the fall, when we're seniors.
That's all for now,
Taylor
