Goodbyes are hard when you know you need to move on.

I don't have any pictures or stories for you today. I've just been spending the sweltering days in Aix. I go to class, eat, and find other ways to spend money.

I've been constantly reminded that I am leaving in about 40 hours. I don't really know how I feel about this. I'm going to miss some of the people I've met, but I'm going to have a fantastic time in Paris (how can I not?). It's weird; I'm sad, but excited.

There are a few things that I certainly won't miss, but I'm not about to sit here and whine. I'm very fortunate for having gotten the chance to do this, even if some of the side effects include sunburn despite a constant layer of suntan lotion and too much pig meat. So I complained a little.

The moral of this story is that this has been a good experience that has gone too quickly, but like all things, cannot last forever. It's good that it can't last forever because I could really go for some grapes and peanut butter, together. A grilled cheese would be nice, too.

Grapes and peanut butter? Why not strawberries and peanut butter. Strawberry is a much better jelly flavor. ;-)
