Farewell

I took my last exam today. Overall, they were not bad. My grades are going to at least be decent this semester and even if they're a little below usual, I'm not really concerned. It was totally worth it.

Julia and I spent the equivalent of 5 consecutive days together this semester in our Travaux Practiques class. It will be sad/strange without her next semester. 10 hours a week is a lot.


We had our last dinner together at Marie-Eve's apartment tonight. I was not very upset/sad to leave. I've made a lot of friends here this semester, but to be honest, there are also a lot of people I'm really happy about never having to see again. Is that mean?

I thought I would be a lot more excited to come home, now that the end is really near. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about seeing everyone and being able to sleep in my bed and drink water with ice cubes, but right now I'm just so tired from...well, from the whole experience I guess. I would say it's post-exam exhaustion, but honestly, I didn't study as hard as I could have/would have if I were at BU. I actually don't know what's come over me, but I've just become completely apathetic.

Haha, alright, not completely. I am very sad to be leaving Grenoble and all the friends I've made here, particularly the ones who don't go to BU and who the chances of me seeing again are slim to none, no matter how much they try to pretend otherwise. But I guess that's what facebook is for, right?Eric and Kristen, students at St. Mike's and Johns Hopkins, respectively. Who I will never see again (they get very angry and both promise that they're coming to Boston, but I'm just being realistic, if not a little pessimistic).


Sorry this was probably not the best mood in which to blog, but I said I'd update on Wednesday, and I'm a girl who keeps her word.

Whether you see them again or not, they will always be in your life.

Hey Jillian,
I don't know whose blog I was looking at before, when I got the link from you from Facebook, but it wasn't yours!!!!
Your Dad just gave me the correct link.
I'm happy now and much less confused.
Will be checking out your adventures soon. Love your header. The whole blog looks really fun.
Safe trip home and give yourself a break emotionally. You've got a lot going on.
Congrats on exams.
:-)
