So today was my last day of school and it's just so crazy how fast time went by. It's true when they say that days go slow and years go fast. I feel like just yesterday I came to school for the first time.
I'm really grateful I got to go to Colegio Metropolitano because if I hadn't I wouldn't have met my best friends, Lucca and William.
But back to today, it was so cute. Lucca and William can't make it to bowling tomorrow and I was kind of sad about that, but they worked together with the English teacher to have a surprise for me in class. I love them so much, they are some of the most thoughtful people I've ever met, I think I'll miss them the most.
Besides that, the day went by super fast. I didn't think I would cry until people started hugging me goodbye. After the first hug I made sure to get pictures taken then finish up the hugs because I felt the tears brimming.
I really can't believe I just finished school in Brazil, the next time I even step into a classroom I'll be a senior in high school. Life goes by too fast, really.
I feel very content with everything and about my return date. I feel like everything is as it should be. I'm happy I'm leaving Brazil happy, because I know if I had left 2 months ago I wouldn't feel as much as I currently am. I have always wanted to have a bittersweet departure, and that's what I'm getting. The fact that it's going to be hard to leave means that it was a success, or at least a part of it. I may not have gotten everything I expected during exchange, but I'm getting everything I've wanted out of it.
