One Month Left.

So I'm realizing that I only have one month left on this crazy adventure. We all have known that this was only for a short time, but I didn't realize how quickly it would fly by. I also didn't realize that my problem wouldn't be culture shock, but reverse culture shock. Leaving is going to be so hard. I'm going to be honest, I don't really want to do it. I would gladly stay in this laid back culture where I have no need to wear shoes anywhere and I can just lay in a beautiful field on the way to class for hours and forget about the outside world. I'm just having a really hard time thinking about this chapter of my life ending.

That being said, the good news is that I still have one short month to live it up big time. And I will be, don't you worry...

...as soon as I finish these papers. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I often forget about the "Study" part in Study Abroad. However, three critiques, two 8 page papers, one 5 page paper, and a final consisting of two essays -- all needing to be completed in the next 8 days is making my focus turn back to academics. No galavanting around NZ for me this weekend. It's time to hit the books (for once).
