The final stretch

So, it’s finally my spring break! WOOHOO!!!!! And of course spring break is the last break until summer break, besides Memorial Day weekend. So with the final stretch of the school year in sight, and my countdown at less than 10 weeks until summer break, I thought I’d write a blog. 

So with the theme that the school year is almost over I’ll start by saying: it’s almost like it was JUST October, like I JUST turned in my application. Exchange is so fast approaching I don’t even have time for it to sink in that in four months I’ll be boarding a plane to a foreign country. In fact, I’ll probably board my plane still without the actual realization that in only hours, I’ll be in a different country for a year.

In literally less than 10 weeks I’ll be saying goodbye to probably half the people I hang out with at school. On the last day of school there will be a countdown among many until the bell to the final sixth period of the entire school year. For me though, sure I’ll be counting down, but I don’t think I’ll be watching the clock as avidly as I normally do for the same reasons. If I am watching the clock, it’s not so I can scream and yell summer and cheer with the others, it’s so I can make sure there’s still plenty of time for me to talk with the people I hang out with before I leave the continent for a year.

Today at the end of first period, my French teacher yelled “bonne vacance!” to us, which obviously means, happy vacation, or somewhere along those lines. So, she said that, and then I was realized that in less than 10 weeks it will be the real deal, and it’ll be summer. And I won't be back. And although the sun, and no homework, and no grades sound so ideal, especially at this point in the year, it’s also kind of scary. And exciting, but that’s kind of besides the point. 

Approximately 125 days until Denmark!!!!

Vi ses!
