home sweet homa

Made it back to Oklahoma safe and sound.

What a truly amazing experience I had in France. I am glad to be back but already anxious for my next trip abroad.

Ciao.

Au revoir, Clermont-Ferrand

Today is my last day in Clermont. I leave tomorrow around 3 for Paris where I'll stay the night at an airport hotel and leave for Tulsa on Wednesday morning.

I've spent the day cleaning and packing up my room. My suitcase, hand luggage and backpack are all very full. I dont know how I've accumulated so much stuff. I've even thrown away a full bag of clothes and shoes that were not in suitable condition to take back home and I'm still pushing the limits of my luggage.

Today Larissa, Loviisa, Whitney and I are spending one last day together. We're seeing a French movie and having dinner and going out for drinks with the remaining Irish friends who are here. It is surely a bittersweet day. I am so excited to get back home but will miss the friends I've made here. I have even grown rather attached to the Ikea box room in which I have lived.

I again want to thank my parents for this semester abroad. All the traveling I've done wouldnt have been possible without you. I also want to thank the amazing group of people I've met here who really made this semester unforgettable. Vous etes mes amis pour toujours. Bon courage et à bientôt! Bisous.
