Ah! I hate this feeling of limbo that comes with the inevitable closing of a chapter of my life. There's so much here that I have yet to do or see, and so many goodbyes I need to make in the next week, and some of it's just not going to happen. Life goes on without closure, but it gives me no satisfaction. I actually have a bit of academic stress for this coming week, the first such period all semester. (The "study" part of "study abroad" was a little ficticious ...) I have three oral exams and a significant paper to right about my chemistry experiences, a bit to write in German. And I just want to have one more bierchen with all the people that I met and grew to love as friends and family away from home.
I'll be coming home soon, and it will be fantastic to see my family and the people I love from back home, but I'm going to put myself through an emotional meat grinder until I step out of the plane onto American soil on July 24th...
