WHICH IS CRAZY. SERIOUSLY, WHERE DID THE LAST NINE MONTHS GO.
I practically just applied to Rotary, I just got accepted. That was NOT eight months ago. But it was. (Yesterday was eight months exactly actually).
I JUST found out I was going to Denmark, and wrote on my whiteboard "eight months until Denmark" which was just this infinitely long waiting time. And now it's one in a half months away?
What. Even. I'm not actually sure that's acceptable.
I've learned a lot of things this past school year (Duh. I'll never forget what Osmosis is), but especially through Rotary, and it's not even my exchange year yet. The biggest thing I learned though? Goodbyes suck. Even if I said goodbye to most people for just a year. The one thing is though, is that when I get back most of my friends will be seniors, and while I'm still holding onto hope that I graduate on time, they will have changed, just as I will have. Time moves on, and people move with it. So a year, in perspective is not a long time. A lot still happens though.
Although, the next time I walk through the hallway of a school, it'll be in Denmark! I'll be the person with the funny accent, who has to think of weird things to say off the top of my head if somebody wants to hear me speak English. BUT HEY I'LL HAVE AN ACCENT. HOW COOL IS THAT?!!?!
So maybe, in that case, saying "hej hej" or "Au Revoir" to a lot of my friends for a year wasn't ALL a bad thing. I mean, in one and a half months I get to see how large life outside of my own small town is, and I'll be able to learn about the world by seeing it, not by reading about it.
A ship is not meant to stay docked in it's harbor.
Just as a life is not meant to be lived in one place.
Approximately 57 days until I see life on the flip side of the Atlantic Ocean!
SEE YOU SOON DENMARK
Hej Hej!
