I am definitely going to miss all of my roommates Tyler, Jesse, Donny, Jorge, and Dylan plus extended family roommates Conner and Muscles, also Jen, Jessica, my blood sisters and brother, Mom, Dad and many others. I'm sad, nervous, and excited to leave (jan. 6th) all at the same time. I know this experience is going to be life changing and as some hinted life altering. I know I will not change as far as my morals and long term goals go but if anything I will come back with a new appreciation of culture and a better understanding of communicating in different environments amongst people from a variety of backgrounds. At the same time my family and friends will be growing up and learning new life truths here while I'm away and before long I will be back in Long Beach to finish my final two semesters.
Tonight gave me a little taste of how much I will be missed while I'll be studying abroad. At Chris' tonight a few people brought up my soon to be departure and as soon as I got to Conner's friend Alex's birthday extravaganza more people did not fail to remind me of my soon to be departure to Chile. I do not want to sound center-of-attention like but it does feel good to know that people will miss my presence while I'm gone and at the same time acknowledge my soon to be embarkation without having to be reminded.
So, on a happier note before I go I plan to finish out the semester strong, do well on my finals, and spend time with those I care about most during this holiday season. Happy Holidays everyone, hope to see all or most of you before the time comes to leave.
Love,
Bobby
