I'm Comin Home

Bonjour lovelies,

 (CAUTION THIS POST WILL BE DEEPER THAN NORMAL)

DONCCCCCCC, today I left Wittelsheim and it was literally the hardest thing I have ever been through. I was so so so sad! I normally am not someone who cries a lot or easily but I feel like all I have done for the past 2 days is cry! Not all day or anything but frequently though out the day! Friday (yesterday) I said bye to my friends at school and I was doing okay until I gave my best friend Eva a hug and just completely lost it and we were both just hugging and crying! Then Saturday (today) morning I woke up to a text from my host sister Olivia. She had written me the sweetest message talking about all the fun memories and little joke we have and once again I lost it and just started crying! By far the worst goodbye was with my host sister Lea. We have become so close and she isn’t just my host sister she is my real sister and for me it really was so hard to say goodbye, even though I know I will see her again! I just can’t imagine not living with her and being able to see her in person for such a long time! I definitely already miss her! Then when I said bye to Renata and Wojtek that was super horrible too because Renata started crying which made me cry even more! I know I am making all of this sound so horrible and sad and for me it really was painful, but I know that I will see them again. I just don’t know when.

Then last night I had my house key in my hand when Renata and I were walking around mulhouse and she told me to keep the key so that when I come back to France I can get into the house!:) It was seriously so sweet!

I have had a lot of emotions these past couple days and I have said wayyyy to many goodbyes. It’s been a lot harder than I expected to leave everyone! I am having a really hard time imagining myself back in Austin, it seems so weird to me that I am going to be back in the US tomorrow night! I know that after a couple days it will start to feel normalish but I just really cant believe it! I have a feeling I am going to be home sick for France a bit! I have become so close with my family and I am so incredibly happy that I came on this exchange to France!

Well I wont be sleeping tonight because we have to get up at 3 am to go to the air port and its already 12:20, so by the time I get to Austin I will have been up for a solid 48 hrs. I hope I get at least a little sleep on the plane!

Okay so I will be writing again once I am back in the US!

SO WEIRD OMG! LAST BLOG IN FRANCE!

Xoxoxo
