Now Here I Sit, So Far Away, Remembering All Our Memories
Well kids, this is officially my last night at SVU. Didn't think this day would ever come. I've had kind of strange feelings about leaving for a while. But yesterday and today? I can't wait to go back to Italy. I did the same thing when I first came here....a day or two before I left, I didn't care WHAT I was leaving...I just wanted to get here. Even though I leave tomorrow, I shouldn't get to Italy until Saturday evening.
If there's anyone I didn't say goodbye to, I apologize. As you can imagine, it's been crazy. And to tell you the truth, I really don't know who would be upset if I didn't say goodbye to them. But if I missed anyone, I'm sorry for that. Smack me over the head or something.
I will miss parts about SVU. Bet you never thought you'd hear me say THAT, did you?! True, I didn't exactly like this place all that much, but I do have some amazing memories of things that have happened here. From the very beginning of the semester when I spent around $200 at Wal-Mart (hey give me a break, I hadn't been in two years!) to the time when a couple of friends and I went to Panther Falls at 4:30 in the morning and stayed until the sun came up, to near the end of the semester poker nights; they are all memories I am thankful to have.
I've learned a lot being here, too. From people I couldn't have met if I had been at any other school, and things I couldn't have done. There's been a lot of hard things, too. But you live, you learn. And you get over it. That's life. I'll admit, there are a few things I didn't handle the way I normally would have, but you know what? You learn from your mistakes. And I have. I usually don't believe in fate, or that everything happens for a reason. But I do believe that I was sent here for a reason. I am aware now of what that reason was.
I didn't mean to write a sappy- "Oh I've learned so much! I'm going to miss everyone so bad! I don't want to go! I love SVU!" -post, so please don't take it that way, (if you know me well, I doubt you will). It's just one of those things where I have learned what I needed to, and now it's time for me to move on. Who KNOWS where life will take me in the next six months. But hopefully I will be able to tell most of you about it when I find out. But within 48 hours, I will be back to the land of adapters, gelato, HOT shoes, REAL food....and oh,yeah, that thing I seemed to have lost since I've been here........MY LIFE! :)
