Close to the Finishing Line


Two weeks to end of our program in France, wow, time flies fast, especially when you are having fun, enjoying new places and thinking of the experience brought about by this program.

It was just like yesterday, when I was stuck at the airport in Atlanta for five days, finally I made to Strasbourg, never thought I would overcome the jet lug, finally I did, never thought I would get used to walking from the Chateau to the bus-stop, I did, never thought I would get used to going to Ecole de Management, I did, so what is left? To pack and go home, start a new semester and move on! To surprise myself, I started packing two weeks ago, in preparation to finally saying goodbye to my temporary home here at the Chateau, I thought it would be the most difficult thing to do, but alas, I am ready to go home.  One never knows how they love their home until they leave, I have been missing even those things I took for granted, I have enjoyed my stay here at the Chateau, but I am not sorry it is all coming to an end.

The experience was worth every penny I paid towards the program, the friends I made are worth my meeting them and hopefully I shall continue to communicate with those who made my experience of France worth living for.  Notably I will go with fond memories of the "busy like a bee" Gaby at the Reception, Colleta, the kindest kitchen stuff in the world, Stephanie, will live in my memories forever, she was so good to me, and of course Jim and Jan, I will miss you, and hope to stay in touch, for all others, it was nice meeting y'll!

As for Prof. Gregory, you remind me so much of a character I read in one of my novels and you shall for ever live in my mind as that character and of course I enjoyed your teachings and the humor you put in the subject.

Tyler Collins, always remember, you have a friend in me and when I move to the D.C. area, I shall call upon you to show me around.  - Caroline

C'est la Vie the world goes on!
