i can’t believe what a whirlwind these past 2 weeks have been! i left chester and had to say goodbye to so many people i love, it was horrible but it had to be done.
i had to leave one of my best friends there, and she’s helped me more than anyone to get to the place i’m in now. she’s helped and watched me grow, and i couldn’t have done the past two years without her. i know we’ll always be friends, and she’ll always be there for me. it feels so weird not being able to just ring her or text her whenever i have some news or something to tell her. i have so much to fill her in on and i’m sure she has loads to tell me to, i can’t wait to skype her! she is seriously one of the most amazing and beautiful people i know, inside and out. i respect her and i love her, and i actually want to thank her for everything she’s done for me, because i know i wouldn’t be the person i am today without her. so thank you.
so i’m in Lyon, and i’ve nearly hit the two week mark. it’s been up and down, i’ve been absolutely hysterical and absolutely buzzing. i’ve missed home so much, but i’ve already had the time of my life, and it’s only just began. i’ve made some amazing friends. i’ve been to a park with a free zoo where’s there’s elephants and lions, i’ve been to an amazing park where we swan in the lake, the course is amazing and the most beneficial learning i’ve ever done, i’ve had a proper three course meal with local food, i’ve been in a real life ‘call me maybe’ situation, i’ve laughed till i’ve cried, i’ve had the best chats, and i’ve learned that i can actually do this.
some days its hard, but i’m so excited for the next 6 weeks :)
