The End is Near.


Fact: I have less than five weeks left in Italy.

This fact brings about a number of emotions. These emotions include sadness, happiness, fright, anxiety, rejoice, and pride.

Sadness can be easily explained by the fact that until this semester i had never left the United States and i have one month left to explore as much of Europe as possible.

Happiness comes flooding in when i think about what is waiting for me when i come home (i.e. family, friends, and various other comforts which i had previously taken for granted).

Fright is an immediate reaction to this fact because of it puts a quick measure on how much time i have to complete all of the schoolwork which never seems to be a priority ( even blogging comes first).

Anxiety is what happens when you combine the aforementioned feelings. Im beginning to think anxiety is only a feeling that lets you know you re alive.

Rejoice... is that an emotion.. do i mean joy? Perhaps i'm thinking about the ability to rejoice i will have when i see my family in the airport in December.

Pride is a result of handling these emotions for the past two and a half months. I feel proud to have been part of something i believe many of us will never forget.
