Last weekend

So this is my last week here at GTL, and so far I've given a presentation in high-pitched clipped French, given/received the high fives signifying the completion of our big def bods project, and put off studying for statistics just a liiiiittle bit longer.

I've got a giant pile of laundry in the floor of my dorm, waiting impatiently for me to acknowledge it, and a kitchen and bathroom that need a good scouring. I'm afraid to investigate the interior of my fridge, and I'll probably forget to clean something and get fined for it.

But my main concern, of course, besides sleeping through an exam, is making my flight on Friday to head home. I miss America--the food, the air conditioning, and more important things like my family and our way of life.

It's been a good experience studying in France. I set out to try new things and understand other cultures--it has both made me grow as a person and appreciate my own heritage more acutely than ever. I'm proud of who I am and where I come from, and now I feel I can say that with true honesty.

Only a few more days and two exams left! Then home and family and then camping and beach before going back to my familiar life in the ATL. :)
