As I type this , I have officially finished my study abroad program. Everyone went home today , and now I start my next adventure. Even though I am still abroad , my program ended and now I am just living here in Mexico for 6 weeks improving my Spanish. I started my day by getting up early , walking over to Cemal and telling everyone goodbye. I am proud of myself for not crying. I did get tears in my eyes but held them back.As soon as the van passed by with everyone on it heading to the airport , I couldn't hold it any longer , wiped out my phone , called mom and stood in the street for a good 5 minutes balling. I then proceeded to walk home crying talking to mom. My eye make up all over my face. But I think , some of the tears were for the people leaving ,but most of them were the realization that my study abroad experience is over. I have planned on studying abroad for so long , and then for it to be over is super crazy and feels very unreal. Ever since I was 12 or 13 I knew my junior year of college would be spent in some country. And now my junior year is DONE, or in the books. I am now officially a senior in college. How did that happen?
I do not know if I am going to be ready to leave this beautiful place in 6 weeks. I sure hope that I still love Mexico as much as I love it right now. But just as I said at the beginning of the semester , in the words of Kris Allen's song,
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
