Yes, this is about leaving. I will be going home on the 24th of December. Ten days from now, I will be in the car with my parents, sister, Lizzie's boyfriend, and my wonderful boyfriend Chao~. Hopefully, we would be heading somewhere to eat. I will probably be so hungry once I get off the plane. Before landing in New Jersey, I will land in Detroit, but Detroit scares me so food in New Jersey~ (still scary, but less scary than Detroit).
It kind of hit me today that this is it. The final home stretch. The last days. The end of my study abroad adventure. It seems so weird that I will no longer be in a country where I can only get by using basic grammar and not understanding what people are telling me. I will no longer be looked at just for being a foreigner. I will no longer be denied the free samples that are being handed out.
But... I will no longer get to eat with some amazing people I became friends with while over here. I will no longer get to go to the lobby and see many people from around the world chilling out. I will no longer get to go from building to building by using those niffy walkways. I will no longer get to talk to some people face-to-face.
As you can see, there are positives and negatives to the end of it all. Scary and not so scary moments. What if I forget something? What do I do with some of the things I got? Do I have enough room in my suitcase? Will it go over the 50kg limit?! All of these are running through my head and probably running through everyone else's at one point or another.
I will miss this place, the people, the scenery, the atmosphere. But, I missing my family and boyfriend and would like to go back to them. I promise you, Japan, I will come back to visit once again. And all the memories I had at AIU and all the things I have seen these past four months, I will treasure it all~
I love you, AIU and all the AIU students I became friends with! I will miss you! ♥
