Time Really Does Fly By

So. I've finally decided that I should start a blog. It finally hit me today that I only have 3 months left here in France. This experience has been a dream for me, to live in France: embody the French spirit, speak the language, enjoy the food, the wine, the cheese, the culture.

I've been living it, ever since last August, but now it's almost time for me to leave, something bittersweet as I know I'll miss so much about France, especially Paris, the most beautiful city. Yet, I am so so excited to be able to go home, be able to see old friends, family, and to have all the comforts of home (especially the food!).

All my friends back at home around graduating, yet I still have one more year in Boston. When I get back, I won't even get to see most of them, they'll be all over the world...Jordan, France, Alaska, Mississipi, Israel, and the list goes on. Everything seems to be changing, we are no longer in the same comforts of home, but exploring, adventuring, adapting.

And that's what I've come to realize. France has really made me change, my drive to experience different parts of the world motivates me to explore after I graduate. But the thing is, I've also realized that during my time here, I am a true American and I didn't realize that I would miss so many things about home. It's time to try to figure things out. I've already decided I will not stay here for the second year, but does that mean that in the future I won't be able to stay away from the States for more than a year? I hope not, I want to explore.
