A Week Full of Lasts

Finishing up my last full week here, I have mixed feelings about returning home. I'm thrilled to return home, but at the same time, this is sort of the end of a dream I've always had. And I'm finding it hard to believe it's almost over. Some things I'm happy to leave--like the buses and the dog poop on the sidewalk. But I will for sure miss my boulangerie, my students at Deux Rives, my favorite creperie, my host family, and the list goes on. I'm slowly walking around Nantes hugging random things like light posts and saying good-bye. Not really, but it's not been easy preparing to leave.

Last night was my last day at Deux Rives and that was definitely hard. Fabien was nice enough to make me brownies AND he cut out the middle for me. :) I've made some close friends there and it wasn't easy walking out the door. But it's as they say, right? All good things must come to an end. Oh, how I hate cliches.

One thing is for sure. Even though I've had a fantastic time, I will be ready to go back home and have my own things again. The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is go in the kitchen and touch EVERYTHING.

One more week!
