I wanted to let you all know what's up with me, though, so I thought I'd just copy & paste this email I wrote to one of my besties back home :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's crazy! I SOOOO don't want to leave! hahaha but at the same time I'm SOOO excited to be home!!! Not so excited for the impending 19-hr flight/layover journey, but it'll all be ok! I feel like maybe i have an exaggerated view of jetlag -- I imagine myself as a walking/sleeping zombie for like 2 weeks after I get back, haha but i'm thinking/hoping that'll turn out to be unrealistic! :)
This weekend was good, not what I expected, but good! :) I didn't end up saying my goodbyes to the Frenchies as I expected b/c I accidentally fell asleep -- Friday was an ALL day trip to the island with my students --- SO much fun!!!!! I love them so much! It was so awesome to be with them outside of the classroom having fun in the sun! So Friday night I was exhausted and fell asleep at 9:15 and didn't hear my alarm OR phone; once I woke up at 2:30am it was too late to meet up with them!
Saturday and Sunday Nikki and I fit in some quality final hang-out time. Saturday night we went out to a fabulous dinner in my town with one of the other assistants to say goodbye and celebrate this year. Sunday, Nikki and I spent all day bronzing at a really nice beach not too far from my place :) ahhhh, it's hard to leave this wonderful place and sad to say goodbyes!
Today I've been packing and cleaning a little. I went for a nice long bike ride with Raymond and Christine this morning and said goodbye/thank you again to them. Tomorrow I'm tying up some more loose ends, saying bye to Dani, finishing packing/cleaning, having one last lunch w/ the teachers and going to my other school again to their "kermesse" (end of the year show/game time) to say more goodbyes! I got a text invite from a girl and tomorrow evening I'll be meeting up with the Frenchies to say goodbyes finally, so that should be good! :)
Wednesday morning I check out of the apt and catch the train to Paris! Hopefully will be meeting up w/ Laura Zoeller to spend the night w/ her, and hopefully we'll be meeting up with Madame Beauclair for dinner in Paris! Then early Thursday morning I'm off to the airport for the 19-hr journey :) and should be in Seattle Thursday night if all goes according to plan!!
Whew! So that's the deal!...I'm so glad my foot's all back to normal so we can be crazy active (if i'm not a zombie) when I get home! on my list: gym classes, tennis, soccer, biking, hiking, jogging, swimming, kayaking, lake jumps... plus beach time bronzing, camping, rafting!, wakeboarding, ooooh so many fun things to do!!...
