'ello, poppet

this isn’t goodbye… it’s see ya later

14 June 2010. I had my last final today, went for Thai, froyo-ed, drank, and said some painful goodbyes. After dinner I spent about 3 hours packing up my life and showering. This is my last night sleeping in this room. The walls are empty and all my calming Asian decorations have been taken down.

Being in New York will be great and I’m excited, but this has just been an incredibly emotional day (week? month?) for me. With the stresses of finals, sad goodbyes, and the awkward moments that keep life interesting, this has been one hell of an end to my abroad experience. 

Having to get into that cab tomorrow morning is going to be really tough. This year has been incredible, definitely one of (if not THE) best years. It’s time to move on, but for the first time I don’t feel ready to give up my current experience in exchange for the real world. It’ll blow over soon enough, but that doesn’t stop me from being sad. 

farewell, London :’(
