Time Machine

I can't believe that this is all over on FRIDAY. As in THIS friday. It seems a little bizarre to be true that time flew by this quickly! I have been riding on an emotional roller-coaster since my plane took to the air on my way back Portugal, of wanting so bad to be home and with everyone I love and all that is most familiar; but at the same time feeling an ache that all of this is over! After all the planning, anticipation and feelings that these 4 months would stretch on forever it seems completely unreal that I am on my last two days. I have my empty suitcase lying beside me, and yet it feels too soon to begin to stuff what has become my room into it! Its a strange realization that I may never return to Orebro, or do something like this again in my life. And so, as it is with any chapter of your life, I'm having difficulties closing this one and accepting that a part of my life has come to an end. It really feels as if I stepped into a time machine of sorts in Europe, where time flies by at an inconceivable rate; with the quickly passing time only noticeable once you have reached the end. 

On another note; Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Seville and Lisbon were AMAZING. Simply, truly unbelievable! It was so, so wonderful to see Gareth again, but its hard to describe the feeling of seeing someone you love so dearly after such a long time apart. its a strange feeling on its own! That is, strange but wonderful! Our travels through Spain and Portugal was one of my best trips ever and more than worthy of one-hundred pages of description on its own! However, as I am feeling the desperate need to squeeze all that I can out of Sweden in my last days here, these stories will have to be told later...from the comfort of my own home!!!!

Well, I have finished breakfast and am now off to go enjoy the beautiful nature of Orebro and so I will being my stories of Spain and Portugal another time!!!
