I actually have had the time to stop and take a breather and time to stop and reflect. Looking back on my whole summer it was one of the most memorable summer I've ever had, filled with great people and unforgettable experiences to go along with it. But, as to all great things, it must come to an end.
My lease is almost up, and I'm slowly moving my things out of my apartment, getting rid of things I don't need. It's always a little sad to see your whole life all packed, but what's worse is the physical packing and moving. My lovely roommate left for home before me, leaving with me to do all the cleaning and sweeping. Thanks Alec!
I've got a couple of more days here in Bloomington, then it's home for a couple more days, and then off to China I go. Its interesting how I want that day to get here quicker but at the same time I don't want to leave just yet.
Saying goodbye is never an easy task, but I've learned that its better to live in the moment than to dwell on the past. As a child, I would get so hung on the fact that a show was canceled or ended (Power Rangers). It would eat me up inside, but maybe after the death of my father I really learned to let go. Granted, I don't always and I still have my weak moments, overall saying goodbye to friends before leaving for this trip is somewhere of a happy occasion. First, I get to see friends I haven't seen in months and in some cases years. Second, I gives me a sense of urgency and makes time go by much faster.
I would like to thank a particular person, someone who made this summer the most memorable and wonderful summer I'll ever have. I can honestly say, without this person in my life it would not be as happy and fulfilling. Kindness and love is what she constantly gives and never expects anything back, except the once request for flowers :). From the bottom of my heart thank you.
Well, this is my last post in this blog for a long time or some time, depending how you view it. I'll be posting in my other blog designated for China called Oh Herro China! I'll do my best to post as often as I can, and hopefully start a weekly or bi-monthly Vlog.
Thanks everyone, enjoy the rest of your summer!
