another chapter closed

So for the past two weeks I haven't done anything big. I said goodbye to one of my good friends as he moved to Malta, finished my junior year of high school, and had to say my goodbyes to some of the best people in my life.
A week ago from today I said my first goodbye and all I could think was how much I HATE goodbyes. I cry more then i should when I say them and then its just an emotional wreck from my side. And I feel truly bad for people who have to witness it but at the same time they should feel good that they made an impact in my life. So its a win win situation? Maybe not. Idk.
But then I got to thinking about how I said goodbyes to my friends in America knowing in ten months I will see them all again. The thing is though, in Hungary, I don't know when I'll see them again. Saying goodbye here isn't like saying goodbye to a stranger you've known for two weeks. It's saying goodbye to my best friends, to my Hungarian family, to people who helped changed my life in a way few people will ever get to experience. The thing is though when I say goodbye to these people, my Hungarian friends, my American friends, and all the other exchange students and foreigners its a thing where I don't know if I will ever see them again...

that should be me...

So! What have I been up to? Well these past two weekends have been long weekends. Last weekend I went to a cave called Aggteleki cseppkő barlang. It starts in Hungary and when you leave the cave you are in Slovakia. It was really cool. There were bats though.. And all I could think about was when we went to the Ohio Caverns and a bat landed on Mark Butler's head. ewww.

After the cave we went and saw the worlds largest book! That was pretty cool.

The next day we went to the local castle. It was a lot of fun. I got to see how things here in Miskolc use to be. Then this past weekend we got to celebrate Alyssa's birthday. Abby and I threw her a surprise party. We cooked sloppy joe's and invited all of her favorite people. Overall it was one of the best weekends here.

Now the feelings part:

As everyone knows its the beginning in May. Of my junior year. Therefore that means all my friends are at prom. And no matter how hard I try to ignore it its still one of those things i miss missing out on. I know, I'm in europe and blah blah blah. but i am still a teenager missing her junior prom. Well other then that everything is good. Have a good week :)
