I HATE that we are leaving...but I'm thankful for the experience

Posting this today but I wrote it yesterday on the train. Paris was incredibly beautiful!! I loved every minute. Here is what i wrote yesterday:
I just want to write this to remember this moment months from now. I am currently riding backwards on a train to Paris and I am looking out at the French countryside and I can't believe that I am this privileged and blessed to be doing this. I return to the states in 48 hours and I am devastated by this thought. I have loved everything about this trip and England. I will definitely be returning here when I graduate and I plan to work here sometime in my career. I am so excited for what the future holds in store for me and I am so happy to have had these wonderful experiences. I am also so blessed to say that I genuinely have made 27 buddies, one of which will be a best friend for the rest of my life. On the first day Margie told us to always keep a buddy with us where ever we go and I have shared every experience with more than a buddy. Molly has become a best friend. I'm so blessed to have conquered fears, had moments of truth and shared many laughs with her and all 27 buddies on this trip. The train is starting to slow down now so here's to a day full of new adventures in Paris!! I'm so excited. I never want to come home!! Loving this life and in the words of Alex, I am living the dream! God Bless

Ps- I love this country so much and I can't wait to return!!!!
