I'm going really out of order here in my catching up, but here's something current. I'd like to give you all a few random thoughts:

1. Having free time is AMAZING. I finished my last final yesterday and now I'm free!!! What have you been doing with all this free time, might you ask? Well... I pampered myself (long showers, body lotion), had a Skype date with the boyfriend, went shopping (new flats! Ballerina pink, so cute), started packing (:( ), threw out all my school stuff (!!!!), and spent lots of time reading (blogs, magazines, Le Petit Prince [don't judge]).

2. I would love to be running around Genève, mais.... il pleut (it's raining), and it's Sunday, which means nothing is open. As I only have 2 1/2 days left here, that's really depressing! I leave next Saturday for Paris but I'm going to Berlin this week (yay!) for 3 days so I really don't have much time to spend in Geneva. It's making me quite upset, actually, and very nostalgic and I want to be touristy! Yes, I'm excited to go to Paris but I'm focused on having to leave Geneva, my first home abroad. As soon as I step foot off the train in Paris I'll be ecstatic, but until then.... :-(

3. Trying to use up everything is hard. I don't want to have to bring tons of food with me, so I'm only eating whatever I have left over, which is a very odd assortment of things at this point. I've let myself buy a few things, such as meat, and some fruit so I don't get scurvy haha.

4. It's so odd thinking I have to say goodbye to all the wonderful Smithies! In fact, as some have already left, it's even more surreal. We had a potluck as a last hurrah but it's not enough! Most I can see in the fall back at school, obviously, but some, like the wonderful N across the hall, don't actually go to Smith.

5. How will I fit everything in my suitcase?
