The (Almost) End

So my semester is officially over. The last two weeks have been (somewhat, but not really) stressful with finishing up final projects, presentations and exams. The last two weeks have also been very emotional as I've had to say goodbye to some close friends, and my apartment as well. I've done my fair share of partying in the last few days as it has been my last nights with many people. It currently feels like a ghost town in Nonsi since most people have already moved out to travel for a few weeks before they head home. A few of my friends are still here so I'm not completely alone, but I can feel the depression starting to sink in. I can only imagine how hard it's going to be when I actually leave and won't have the chance to see these people every day again. 

In good news though, my mom is officially on her way here. So while I'm still sad for the fact that her arrival truly marks the end of my journey and time here, I'm very excited for our travels together. I haven't even thought about the places we're going because I'm always busy planning some other trip with friends, but today I sat down and started making an itinerary for things to do in each city. We start off in Perth, Australia next Friday! I'm so excited for Perth, it might actually be the destination with mom that I'm most excited about. We're also headed to Bali, Singapore, and Malaysia. Several of my really close friends in Bangkok will be in Bali at the same time as me, so I am super excited because it means I will get a few extra days with them and I don't have to say goodbye just yet.
