I’m writing this blog in the Heathrow airport on my last official night abroad. It is completely unbelievable to me to think that I will be home tomorrow and this chapter of my life will officially be closed. It feels like only yesterday when I was telling Mom & Dad about my crazy idea to study abroad in Scotland.
It is cliché but the only word I can think of to describe what I am feeling right now is bittersweet. I am happy to be going home and excited to seeing my friends and family again. I’m really looking forward to having my car again and having the freedom to go wherever, whenever. And I’m excited for hot Minnesota summers, BBQ’s and finally being able to watch a Twins game this season. :) I will also be happy to not have to carry around my entire life in a suitcase anymore.
Although I cannot wait to get home, I know I am going to miss almost everything about this past semester. Scotland was more beautiful than I would have ever pictured it along with all of the places that I am so fortunate to have been able to visit. I have seen and eaten things I would have never expected to in a million lifetimes. I have been challenged to do things I never thought that I could and I have loved every second of it. This semester has been an absolute dream come true and I am sad to have to say good-bye to it.
