The end is here.

I can't believe it. Tomorrow I leave Paris.

It is such a beautiful city and I just started to feel like I was really living here and now I'm leaving. I know that one day I'll be back but I'll probably never live in Paris again and it's not that easy just to come to Paris. I'm going to miss it so much.

This past weekend has been so odd. After the final show on Fri. people started to pack up and leave for the US. Saturday we took down our art works and traded prints which was really nice. That night I sat by the Eiffel Tower and drank wine and by the time I woke up on Sunday morning most everyone was gone already. It's weird to share such a life changing experience with a group of people and then say good bye to them and know that you probably won't ever see them again. Sunday I felt lost all day not really knowing what to do with myself. I didn't want to start packing and couldn't really do anything else.

And now it's Monday and tomorrow I'm leaving- how the hell did that happen?
I took ballet class today which was a great way for me to calm my nerves and it felt really good to dance. Then I was off to get things done. It's hard to pack because I'm not just throwing everything in a suitcase and going back to the states, I'm traveling for a long time. I had to get an ipod charger and boxes to ship some stuff home and all this random crap that I know will make my life easier in a week or two. Of course everything is harder in France because #1 I dont' speak the language very well and #2 the french just like to make things difficult. I did accomplish a lot today and was able to ship a very overpriced box back to the states, which has helped my packing a lot. I went to dinner at my favorite cafe' Les Philosophes in the Marias with Mere and I could have sat there forever outside by the flowers in the perfect weather eating really good food. I'm excited for what's to come but still going to miss Paris very very much.
