how to say the end

It’s been a week since I have returned home, and I could not be happier to be back to my old, routine ways. At times though, I still think back to all of the preparation, anticipation, and adventures I experienced surrounding my time abroad.

The purpose of this blog was to not only provide a resource for students from my university who were interested in studying in Sweden, but also to keep my friends and family updated about how I was spending my time, and the new experiences I was facing while away. And now that my time in Sweden is over, this blog is also over.

I once again would like to thank my parents for allowing me to go abroad and assimilate myself in an entirely different world. A lot of people would probably think I am off my rocker for moving across the world my first time leaving home. Sometimes I think I was a little nutty myself. But, without the experiences I had I would not be the person that I have grown into, nor would I have developed the opinions and attitudes that I did.

Sweden will always be an important part of my life. Even if their pickled herring is less than desirable.

Can you spot the embedded cannons?

Leave it to someone else to take a blurry photo… although probably for the better
