This will be my last post. This is a little sad for me because it is essentially the one "last" thing I've done that really means "this is the end". It also probably isn't helping that I'm listening to the new Coldplay album right now (You know how I know I'm gay?). So the bags are packed and sitting on my floor. Tonight we are going out for a few drinks and then saying our goodbyes (of course a kebap will officially end the night).
Its been a good one. I mean that very seriously. Thank you so much mom and dad for allowing me to do this for a semester. I owe you more than you know. It was good for me to get out of Champaign for a semester. But now I'm ready to get back home. I'm really gonna miss this place but its just been so long since I've had Papa Dels...
My final souvenir that I bought yesterday was an Austrian flag that I'll put up in my room. I feel connected to this country in a sense now, but as cool as it is over here, I can't imagine living in any other place but the United States of America. I'm gonna get a little patriotic for a minute here. This is due mostly cause I'm coming home, 4th of July is next week, and I miss home in general. Europe is cool, but I don't see how people say that America needs to be more like Europe. My program director loves it over here and he is always trying to tell me what Europe does that is so great. I gotta tell you I don't think it sounds that fantastic. Plus they don't even have ice or water fountains over here haha. Sure there are some perks in Europe that I like, but overall I think we do it right. I do wish we loved football (I guess I have to start calling it soccer now) as much as they do over here.
So ends another chapter in the life of Andrew Sweeney. Thanks for reading! I'll be home before the fireworks...
Prost!
