So, today was my last day of assisting. I am officially done.
It was really nice, because my last class was half of my favorite group (the other half was on a field trip, which is a bit sad) and they surprised me with cupcakes and music. Their teacher kind of forced them to recount their favorite memories of me, which was kind of awkward but still very sweet.
I just can't believe it's over. When I think back to when I first got here, and how interminable seven months seemed, it's ridiculous. When I think about how miserable I was when I got here, too, it doesn't even seem real. I really do love it here now.
It'll be nice to go home- tourist season is just picking up, and it's making Paris kind of unbearable, solely because I'm like OMG TOURISTS WHY ARE YOU HERE RUINING MY CITY, because now Paris is my city and I love it and leaving it is going to be so hard. I'm going to be so happy to return to my family, my own house and my room with all of my stuff and food that I know and omg TV, real TV, live TV, my shoooows! but it is going to be devastating to leave my friends. The first of my group is leaving on Monday, and then two of my friends are going back home for vacation (they're staying til July) and another one is going home the next Monday. I'm the third one to go home- May 14th. I'll miss being able to see Melissa all the time- duuuuh- but Melissa will eventually come back to the states, and also she's my forever friend and I know that won't change. But my friends here! Ashley is from Minnesota, Becca and Becky from England, and Katie is from Northern Ireland. Minnesota isn't so terrible, obvs, but the three from the UK!!! :( It's going to be really sad. I keep thinking about the damn graduation song by Vitamin C and getting teary.
This is the last weekend it's going to be with all my Paris friends! WHY DO ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END.
