This past week has a special place in my heart. Not only I went to Sydney with my friend Caroline but it also meant that my trip in Australia has come to an end. I am writing with tears in my eyes knowing that I am going to leave all my Aussie life behind. The friendships that I made, the people that I met, they were all part of my amazing journey here, in Brisbane. EF was the best place for me, and I mean it. Going to school and talking with the staff and other students is definitely something that I’ll remember forever. I will forever be grateful to have lived in Australia for 6 weeks. As much as I miss my home, friends and family, my stay in Australia was the best thing that could have happened to me and I am scared to leave it all behind. It has been an emotional week and god knows that I have not finished being emotional. My flight is not until the 11 of May but still, I don’t want to leave.
Sydney was wonderful. It is absolutely mind-blowing to see this beautiful city. Of course, without any questioning, I visited the famous Opera House. What can I say, I was so speechless that I cried at least 4 times. Every time I saw this astonishing establishment, I was tearing up. Moreover, my friend and I took a walk on the Harbour Bridge and it was phenomenal. And don’t ask how beautiful it was at night, because it was perfect with all the lights.
This week is my last week at Ef and with my host family. I don’t want to say goodbye because they were the best. I had so much fun with my host sister and brother but also with their mom. We baked cookies, watched movies together and also talked about nothing and everything. I’ll also miss my roommate Soeun, who comes from South Korea! She was 2 years older than me, but still, we would talk about anything and it was fun.
I realized that I didn’t write much about what I was doing in Brisbane. But really it’s was just because I forgot. At Ef, every friday I had an oral presentation and my teacher told me that I improved a lot, even though my english was already very good. He even told me I had the American accent. What a compliment!!!
I am ready for the next chapter, however, it is difficult to leave behind such an important part of my life.
Australia, I will see you sooner that you think.
