Stateside.

The last month was filled with so much happiness. So much stuff going on, regardless that I was mildly stressed and exhausted from those papers I mentioned in the last post.

Time flew by so quickly. And yet I do feel that I lived it all to the fullest extent possible. Even though there were so many things in Lille that I didn't have time to check out, even though there were so many cities, countries, people to visit. I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't do anything differently.

This trip was perhaps the greatest thing I have done so far for myself. I have seen things that I have never seen before, spoke incredibly amounts of French, met people who taught me so much -made me think in a different way, tasted food so savory, drank beer so delicious, lived in a way that I've always wanted to live.

I don't think I can express all that I want to, that I need to. But I fear losing all that I've learned. I fear my inability to live in the same way I did in Lille.

Here are a few pictures, a few moments of what my last week was in France. Snapshots.
