A few weeks back, in a moment of frustration with school/work, i made a chain of links of paper, one for each day of school that remained. Everyday, upon arriving home from school, I take one link off the chain and throw it away. The thing has gone from long to tiny! There are only 4 links left! I cannot believe Friday is my last day at La Buena Tierra. It's been interesting, to say the least, and I am frankly ready, like every other school year of my life (whether student or teacher) for the school year to be over. Even more-so this year since the year goes so late into the summer!
Today is June 21. That means in exactly one month from today I will be setting foot on U.S. ground. I cannot even believe it. This thought creates such a mix of emotions in me...I am seriously stoked knowing soon i will be seeing so many friends and family, eating schmucker's strawberry pie, (hopefully) going to baseball games, and just being in the comforts of home. But on the other hand, i am SO not ready to leave Mexico. I have already started a listed of things I am going to miss, and it is getting slowly but surely very long. I love it here. And although I'm excited to be going home, I am also very sad to be leaving. But the next month should be full of fun, including a trip to Honduras, so I have lots to look forward to. But see you all in a month!
Natalie, you make me cry. They are both "happy" and "sad" tears since I know how excited you are for school to be over (yippee) and at the same time the thought of leaving this country that you have come to love and that is such a part of you brings sadness, too. Thank you so much for keeping us up to speed on your life through this blog. It has been such a blessing (just as you are). Make some great memories, these remaining days in Cuernavaca. Enjoy them!
