I came here with one suitcase and today my goal for the day was to get this same suitcase closed. After hours of laundry, packing, and repacking, I finally got the suitcase closed and it's sitting on the floor beside the door awaiting Wednesday morning when I will be leaving the residence.
I didn't exactly expect fireworks when the bags were passed and it's true that I'm technically not fully packed yet - there remain assorted toiletries and books that need to find their ways into bags still - butwhat I feel now is just this sort of deadened dread.
I knew this day was coming. In fact, I've been counting down to it since my arrival, but now I wish it wasn't so near. I think this is the way of life and the nature of studying abroad. And if this is true, then I will just have to accept it and let go.
Anyway it's not like I have a lot of time to really rage against this ending since it comes only 2 days from now.
