I'm gearing up for the last two weeks of school. This week is my last full week, next week I have exams to take. It's a little strange; I have no idea when the end of the semester crept up. Soon everyone will be off to travel Europe, then go back home. There are only a few of us staying the year. Next semester is going to be strange without the people I am used to hanging out with on a constant basis.
It's a little scary that 3 months went so quickly. I am going to miss all those who I have met; from California to Maine to Virginia to New York, Colorado, and New Jersey. From Ireland to Denmark to Germany, Austria, and France; my group here has been an array of different people, from completely different worlds than my own, but who were all still able to connect and form a good group of friends.
We've got something like ten days left together. I'm hoping we will make the most of it.
The last 3 months have felt like only ten days; it's incredible how quickly you can connect to people when your time is limited. I have so many memories with these people. Bantry, Blarney, Scotland, The Cliffs of Moher, and the infinite number of movie and pub nights we have had together, plus all the late night's we stayed up; it all went too quickly.
Already I am creating a list of memories that I love in my head.
I need to know where all this time went. Will it go this quickly next semester? And will I have the same memories with new people? I'm not sure. I hope so.
As for finals and papers? I've got two due at the end of the week. I need to get to work on them. That's left for today. All I can focus on though is making the most of the next ten days and then doing some of my own traveling.
I need to focus on school. Speaking of which, late to class. I am off!
Hm. It's a bittersweet feeling I imagine. You met people you wouldn't have otherwise met. Good people with good hearts I'm sure. But from the start the catch was clear. Your time with them would be very limited. Still, as time passes and we become more and more our own, it may be that you'll come across these individuals again. And maybe that time around, they'll be able to stay in your life a bit longer. ^_^ As for me...well, you're pretty much fucked. I'm like a tattoo on your forehead: maybe a little embarrassing but we're pretty much stuck for life. Miss you Ms. Carpenter!
