It is Time to Say 'Goodbye!'
Yes, this is it! Before you even notice, you only have eight days left in the place where you had one of the best times of your entire life.
Five months ago, when I thought about the final days in New Zealand, it always seemed to me such a long time to come. I had this kind of feeling that it would last -, well I can't say forever (it would be childish of me to think like that), but at least it would last more than this. As If I had the power to cheat on time, and make it longer. But, time is the most powerful ever. There is nothing we can do to prevent it. The only thing we can do is enjoy it.
And enjoying is something that I can honestly say I did. New Zealand for me was not only a place where I could practice and improve my English. It turned out to be more, way more.
It was the place where I met the most amazing people (teachers at Embassy included); where I could share and learn more than in any other course in my life, making me more open-minded than before; where I could try all types of food; where I saw the most amazing landscapes ever; and the best and most important of all, where I could mature and learn about myself.
I am even feeling like a different person than five months ago and that was more than I could have hoped for, from this trip.
Great that you've enjoyed your time here! I've really enjoyed reading your blogs. Hopefully you've inspired others here with your tips. Maybe they'll even begin writing themselves. Cheers
