Good friends help you find important things when you have lost them. Your smile, your hope and your courage.
Hello Everybody,
10 days until I fly back to the Netherlands with my mom. Some of you might think that is not a lot of time left and others might think that it is still quite some time to do all kinds of things in. I think it is both.
It is on the one hand very few days to do all the things in I still want to do, but I am filling it up to the rim with fun stuff so I will not leave with regrets(which is highly unlikely anyway). Tuesday and Wednesday I have my exams, which makes me very nervous but I also know that it will be alright, good grade, medium grade or bad grade. I went to this place to study and that is what I did. I learned a lot of things, I know this for a fact, whether my test results reflect this or not. Then wednesday afternoon we will be off to London for a few days so I can definitely say I have visited enough places on the british isles. After seeing all London has to offer, my mom will be here to pack but also to see those little bits of the city I have not explored enough yet. This way when I leave, I leave this city on a good note.
On the other hand 10 days is very long. Going home to my family and friends and boyfriend is almost literally within my grasp and it is only creeping towards me. One part of me wants to get on a highspeed train to that day. It is so close yet so incredibly far. I have made a calender for myself on which I can cross of the past days and I wish I could just cross them off until London. Fast forwarding through my exams. I have been spending as much time in the library studying as I can handle, but taking enough free time as well. Don't worry, I rest and stuff haha. Everybody is being super sweet to me, as I have had little breakdowns for the past week. It is just push and pull inside my head. I can't stress enough that you need to make sure you surround yourself with the right people, not just when going on an exchange but just in life! Thankfully I've found these people and I know they will be with me until the end. Thank you all so much, you know who you are.
Honestly, the studying is going well. I don't think I have ever read so many articles about the same subjects, from so many books I have borrowed from the library. My brother told me I probably beat his time in the library and I realised I probably beat my own time. New personal record. I have achieved a lot in my time in Liverpool haha. Handed my stress essay in on time as well, and I have a good feeling about it. I feel like I found the right balance between writing down my own intelligent musings and writing down the intelligent thoughts of people who actually know what they are talking about. That should do just fine. The positivity is flowing through me as we speak, or maybe that is the caffeine. All will be well in the end.
I am now going to have my lunch and study again, since I am writing this from the library. Wish me luck on my exams, and I will see you all sooner or later I hope!
Hasta la vista mis amigos
bye.
