I can’t believe it’s already June! I only have one month
left in Paraguay and on my exchange year.
My work is amazing and I will be sad to leave. I think it will be one of the hardest times
to leave my family, work, and all my friends here. I’ve really built myself a second life here
and it will always be a part of me. Even
through all the bad and rough times, I never wanted to leave Paraguay. I will miss many things about it and
hopefully share the culture and knowledge I’ve gained when I come back home.
It’s truly
incredible that it has almost been a year since I left my home. Time is such a weird thing. One day can seem like so long and a week too,
but then there are months that fly by and you don’t know where all the time
went. I am excited to see my family and
friends back home but I also think it will be hard adjusting again. I have changed a lot, as a person, my
beliefs, my actions, and my values, and I don’t know if I will have the same
interests and like the same things as I did before. I guess I will just have to wait and see and
try my best to accept that I am home and that if I ever want to go back and
visit I always can.
We had our
last going away orientation camp two weeks ago, in May. It was interesting to hear about everyone’s different
experiences and to see how everyone has changed. Also to hear about how different everyone’s
years were even though we are all in the same country. I love talking to other students who are
travelling abroad or who have been abroad, about their experiences and plans
for the future. It will be a hard time
saying bye to Paraguay, but I don’t think I will realize I left and am not
coming back until I’m at my home in America.
