Today marks 5 days left until I leave, and I don't think I truly ever realized what it was going to feel like to say goodbye to all my loved ones. It's heartbreaking, to say the least. I read in another blog that this is pre departure depression and I think it might be right.
From organizing my goodbye party to hanging out one last time with my "significant other" soon, to seeing all my wonderful exchange friends start their own exchanges somewhere else. This last few days have been and will be very emotional. Maybe it's weird that it hit me just today, only 5 days before I leave, my friends and classmates of 6 years started school today and I wasn't there, because I'm taking a different path to theirs and it just hit me that I am going to be somewhere else living a new life while everyone here goes on with theirs. I've made some pretty amazing friends throughout my life, I'm so lucky...
Next time I write, which will be next Monday I think, I'll be somewhere else already, calling Denmark my home. And I can't wait! I don't think nothing ever prepares you for the feeling of being on exchange, of being foreign, of being almost on your own.
Have fun, be safe, don't get caught.
