I\u2019m done. I am officially done with my semester abroad and will be heading home in less than two days. It feels surreal to type that, never mind saying it out loud.<br \/>\nIt feels like just yesterday I was a senior in high school looking at Rollins\u2019 study abroad programs in London. It feels like just yesterday I was a college freshman, attending study abroad fair collecting CAPA pamphlets and talking to former CAPA students.<br \/>\nThere was never a debate as to where I was going abroad, London has always been it. I\u2019ve always been certain that it is the city where I wanted to spend the fall semester of my junior year and as it comes to a close I\u2019m happy to say I was right. I made the best decision in choosing London and will advocate for this city to whoever asks me.<br \/>\nIn London you can literally find and do anything you want. There is never a dull moment. After 3.5 months here I can honestly say I didn\u2019t get to do and see half the things I wanted to. I guess I have no other choice but to come back \u263a<br \/>\nReadapting to life at Rollins after spending such a busy and exciting here will no doubt be challenging. However, I am happy to get back into my routine and see all my friends and the campus I\u2019ve missed so much.<br \/>\nThe sadness of leaving hasn\u2019t quite sunken in yet, because I\u2019m still here. Also, the excitement to go home and see my loved ones blurs the melancholy of leaving. I\u2019m certain that once I\u2019ve settled in home I\u2019ll be overcome by London-sickness and daydream of my days here, but I\u2019m trying not to think of that. I\u2019ve decided to take each day as it comes, and live in the present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exams have been completed, presentations have been given, final papers have been turned it, the last day of internship has been wrapped up and my final hours log has been signed.
