Chasing the Daylight

And so it begins.

            I never could have imagined that sitting here knowing I have 9 days left would be so difficult.  Who can I talk to about it?  My friends at home?  They don’t understand.  The other exchange students?  Most of them are gone.  It’s just me and my thoughts and my inability to comprehend leaving a place that I have grown to love like home.

            How did 11 months go so fast?  How can I say goodbye?  Those are the longstanding questions.  But even the immediate ones are now problems as well.  What do I do tomorrow?  I have a million ideas but lack the concentration to complete even one.  Then tomorrow night I will stop and think, wow, one more day gone.  One more day that I won’t get back again.

            I don’t even have the concentration to finish this blog out correctly right now.  Maybe tomorrow.  I had wanted to write a few more pieces before going but I can’t find the mind to do it right now.  

            Because it’s all starting, just now, to be real.
