Last Day of School

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.
