Last day of class!! So sad and so happy at the same time! I have one exam this morning and one paper due… a few papers to grade… my grades to turn in, and then i’m done, bye bye Indiana!! I will miss my students A LOT and i also liked what i learned in my sociolinguistics, research in L2 writing, and space management classes… it’s getting cold here, so it’s a good time to leave this place… and hope that after the hottest summer in europe i won’t spend the coldest winter in europe…
i haven’t eaten anything, almost, in a week, because my kitchen is clean and i don’t want to mess it up before i go :( so i’m kinda starving and feeling dizzy… sleeping a lot when i should be writing and grading papers and getting ready for this exam that i have in 8 hours…
i don’t really want to fligh to Paris in 3 days… it’s so boring! Mark is driving me to the airport and that’s very kind of him!! The biggest problem is when i come back and have to go through the JFK airport!!! And this December, the major airports are starting the new “biotics” program, where they’ll take pictures and FINGERPRINTS of everyone who enters the US!!! It’s going to be hell and I bet I’ll miss my connection. I don’t want to be photographed!!! I don’t want to give my fingerprints, i’ll feel like a criminal!!! Chris told me that she had to give her fingerprints and have her picture taken when she went to Japan, and had to carry her “ID card” at all time… so that makes me feel better, it’s not just this country… but still, i’ll have to graduate ASAP and leave this place, I don’t feel welcome and I’m treated like a criminal so goodbye, I’ll have had a good time for 10 years (TEN YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY??!!!!???), and it will be good to move on to greener pastures (if they exist). I think I’ll go live in New Zealand, how about that?
