As The Days Go By....

        So when I get stressed out I tend to shut down, and like many students coming up on finals and the end of the year I just dont want to do anything. Next thursday is D day. I have my grammar, Conversation, and Composition finals, it is also my very last day of school for this year. I have about....12 days left here, depending on how you count, and yet it seems like I have years and at the same time as though I am leaving tomorrow. Sitting here in Amairis's room, like i have every night for the better part of the last four months reminds me of how important these people are to me. Someone once scolded me for saying I have multiple bestfriends, because of course, how can they all be the best? But thats not how I look at it, I have best friends from all walks of life. And I have collected multiple whom I would call 'best friend' here. Which, is amazing and a little humorous because I was concerned about making friends here before I left for Argentina, now I have my ACA family and several best friends besides. The not funny part of all of this is saying goodbye in less than two weeks. I feel so conflicted, its like the end of my Argentinian life and the resumption of my normal life, I am excited and dreading leaving all at the same time. For many of my ACA friends this weekend will be their last weekend here, our last weekend together.
       So this is me, trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps in order to finish my classes strong. But on the brightside packing will be so much easier since i packed my big suitcase yesterday. Living out of my carry on suitcase for a few days should be fun but a little less stress when the big day comes. Yesterday was also my last day of Translation. *Sigh* Heres to the ending of an incredible year...

TWO WEEKS

      IM COMING HOME IN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see i am rather excited to be coming home. I am NOT excited about saying goodbye to my ACA family and my best friends here but at least most of them live in the states....except all my beloved Brazilian friends *sniff*. I have not been in the United States for 9 months, and i haven't seen my boyfriend in...11 months. So as you can imagine i am dying to get home. Especially because i havent really been able to sleep in my room these last few weeks. Not sure exactly what changed but my roommates kinda decided that sleeping wasn't important and they should stay up talking with the lights on past 12pm every single night of the week. So I've also been staying up ridiculously late because i cant sleep with light and people talking. I did talk to the dean so its gotten a little better but not enough. The last two weekends I've been sleeping in Callie's or Amairis's rooms and sometimes on weekdays. But I am leaving so soon i hardly even care anymore. I think i might even start packing up my odds and ends...
         Finals are starting this week going until next week. Callie is leaving a few days before me and a few people already left to get home for sibblings graduations. I just can't believe my year abroad is almost over!
