I had my last day of school and my friends surprised me with a cake. It was delicious and everyone hugged me and made me feel very loved. During an assembly, the principal called me up on stage and gave me the school pin and flag. He said I had been a positive contribution to the school and that he can tell everyone will miss me. The pin is now on my blazer and I will surely hang the flag up in my room!
On Friday I went to a goodbye party Alex's friends threw for her. It was fun but I hated thinking about Alex leaving. I started feeling lonely but I had a pretty good time anyways.
On Saturday night, Eduardo drove me up to Katie's house to say goodbye to her before she left for the airport. We passed eachother letters and then I hugged her and left. I wasn't feeling super sad until I started talking to Eduardo after. We went to get ice cream and were sitting in his car talking and I just began to cry. I cried because Katie was leaving and because Alex was leaving the next day and because I didn't want to say goodbye to anyone. He hugged me, which made me cry harder because I reallyyyy didn't want to say goodbye to him. We planned on that being our goodbye, but saying goodbye was too hard so we made plans for a few days later. When I got home, my family through a goodbye party for Alex and I and everyone came. I was tired and sobby like the entire night, and ended up going to bed early (at like three). Before going to bed, however, I enjoyed my last evening with Alex and ate a lot of desserts and joked around with my beautiful family.
The next day I went to the airport to say goodbye to Alex. We almost didn't make it in time, because my family left super late, but we got there just in time to hug her one last time. It was painful watching Alex say goodbye and knowing I would have to do the same in one short week.
Yesterday I went to Talca to say goodbye to Franco's family and I got to meet Robin, a German exchange student who had lived with them 2 years ago. We spent the day talking and eating yummy food and watching movies together. It was a simple goodbye, but an important one. I love that family a lot and I know I will see them again in the future.
Today I have plans to meet up and have lunch with my friends from Coya and after that I will try to say goodbye to Eduardo again. Today is my last day in Rancagua, because tomorrow I will leave with my family to see the south of Chile. I am excited to go with them and have a few adventures in my last days here. I seriously can't believe this year has gone by so fast!
I know this blog doesn't sound as bubbly as I usually do, but this stuff isn't very fun for me to write about. I am getting tired of saying goodbyes. I am still happy and I am not going to be depressed at home in the US or anything, it's just at some point I got tired of got tired of crying but realized I couldn't stop.
The good thing is, I am going to make the most of my last days here. And I'm going to start right now! Bye. :)
You now have friends and more friends all over the world :)
