I should be sleeping right now. But I just can’t. I mean, how could I?
I’ve been thinking about this moment every day for what seems like forever. And now it’s actually here. One last night in my own bed and a breakfast at home is what’s left before I leave my old life behind and jump head first into the biggest adventure of my life.
The last day at home turned out to be one of the best ones I’ve ever had. I thought I knew it before, but today has proven that I really do have the best friends one could wish for.
This morning I got waken by my best friends, who’d all come home to Sundsvall to be here my last weekend at home. I was so happy to see them that I didn’t really reflect on the fact that the breakfast in bed they brought me was the typical Swedish Christmas rice pudding.
Soon though it became clear what was going on. To make up for the upcoming time we won’t be able to have together they’d arranged an entire micro-year compressed into one long, amazing day. Christmas, Easter, and the typical Swedish mid summer celebration were all covered by lunch time, and the day was already to good to be true.
During the afternoon the year continued with the imaginary celebration of my birthday (October) at the spa. About this time the love and gratitude I feel towards these people led into on and off crying and laughing in a way I wasn’t really ready for.
Our one day year was finished off in style with a three course New Year’s dinner. I can’t really describe how nice it’s been to just let go off (almost) all thoughts of this project and have this last amazing day with people I care so much about. I guess that the only negative thing would be that this will make it even more difficult to leave them all tomorrow.
OK. It’s now 3.30 AM and I need to get some sleep.
Even with the mixed emotions I am so excited to see what tomorrow will bring. Just as today has been, tomorrow will be a day that I for sure will remember for the rest of my life, and I can’t wait to experience it.
I really feel like the luckiest girl in the world :)
Time for bed!
