The time has come to go back home. The last few weeks we had a lot of dinners, parties and every night we had a ceremony where we counted down the days that we had left. It was all focused on spending as much time with each other as possible. The first goodbyes were the hardest, we all cried a lot when it was time to say bye. It is crazy how close we have gotten in just 5 months. I have learned a lot from the people that I have met, and I am happy to say that I have made friendships here that I will value forever.
When it comes to school, I passed all my courses with a good grade. Swedish was by far the highest grade, and that confirms that I enjoy learning new languages. I came to Sweden to see if what I wanted, living in Sweden, would still be my dream after living there for 5 months. The conclusion is, yes, I am still in love with Sweden and yes, I still want to live there.
Yesterday I flew back home, I said goodbye to the people and when I came to Copenhagen it was kind of a shock. In Sweden, the Corona situation was almost not noticeable. However, in Copenhagen there were a lot of check ups, controles and police. I had to wear a mask everywhere, and it was not what I was used to.
It was good to see my parents, I missed them. However, my feeling right now is that I am sad. I am sad that it was over so quick and that I couldn’t stay longer. My plan now is when I graduate, study or work in Sweden and stay there permanently.
All in all, it was the best experience that ever happened to me. I learned so much, found happiness and friends all over the world. I am ready to start with my thesis now, and finish my student life in the Netherlands.
In a week, or two weeks, I will evaluate the whole experience and write another blog. (I still have to write one more blog, due to the Corona situation I did not have a lot to write about). So see you soon!
