Almost leaving VLC... but not yet
Sigh... It's almost over... I just can't believe it... Though it's not yet over, for there remains one obstacle to be tackled: my very last exam tomorrow afternoon! But before that, my boyfriend will arrive here in Valencia, to enjoy my last two days here in Valencia together with me and to help me carry all my luggage when I get back...
The boys and I are already looking for someone new to replace me here at the apartment. Ok, I'm making it sound really pathetic... We're looking for someone to rent my room. I have put an ad on the internet and over 10 people have called in less than 24 hours! So the boys now have a long list of candidates to choose from. I'm curious to know who my sucessor will be.
And now the succession of goodbyes is beginning... Today I said goodbye to Lena, who is leaving for Viena, Cécile will go on the same day as I, I've said goodbye to Steffi, Nynke... It's so weird, I just don't realize yet that it will never be the same, as it has been these past months. These same people will never be in Valencia all at once as they are now. I do hope I'll get to see everybody again some day...
The luminous point is that with goodbyes... come goodbye parties! Cécile gave a great party last Saturday, and just yesterday I spent the evening in Lena's favourite restaurant eating our favourite chocolate cake... So you see: every downside has an upside!
So now I'm off to ponder what the upside of my exam tomorrow might be... Sigh.

Thank you, thank you. It was really frustrating logging into you blog and falling on the same day over and over again.
You came to a very nice and wise conclusion, which will help you through out your life. One of the best fuels to a good life is keep the best of it in one's heart!
The home front is looking forward to having you back.
Big kisses,
elemadre to elemam again
Oh, you're already back home so I hope this isn't too late. When I read you're last post I felt so proud of you because of everything you've accomplished and everything you've learned. You're such an inspiration. And I'm so happy you had such an amazing experience in Valencia!
Besitos,
Sil
