Or well, I don't really remember the start but it sounds like a really cool way of starting a text. This Monday around 16.00 my last class ever ended. It almost feels surreal. After class the entire class went together for a drink at a nearby café, then on to dinner and then most of us to a bar. It was a great way of finishing, that's for sure. Yesterday I took it easy organising my stuff so I can go back to Sweden soon.
I'm not leaving yet tho, first a roadtrip. At 18.00 today I planned on taking the train to Leeuwarden, which failed horribly as it is now 18.13. There I'll meet a friend of mine and tomorrow we'll go to Köln and Düsseldorf in Germany for some days. My friends flight leaves on the third so his trip will be over by then. I don't know yet if I should keep on going or not, depends on if any of my friends in Germany, Belgium or somewhere else reasonably nearby have time to meet up. I haven't booked the flight yet but I have to leave my apartment before the 15th of July, I will probably leave a bit earlier than that.
Back in Sweden I got a great place in the middle of Stockholm to live at. I will be working as an actor and journalist, perhaps also a sports trainer, like I've done before. My journalism will most likely consist of freelancing and being a temporary replacement from the start but in a while I hope for a stable job. I can write about pretty much anything and I can also do some designing so I should have fairly good chances.
I will miss Amsterdam a lot, that's for sure. I'd like to stay longer but you don't get everything you want in life, I've had a great time and going here was a good choice but now it's over. If I get the chance to go abroad again, here or elsewhere, I will take it tho. That's for sure. I would recommend every single student or other person of studying age to do the same. Of all the people I've met here I haven't heard anyone be disappointed. There are flaws, I didn't even like my education here that much, but in total it is really worth it. That being written: Goodbye Amsterdam! There is a small chance that I have time to make a new blog post before leaving as I am going to spend at least one more night here after coming home from the road trip, I wont fly back the same day.
The picture is of me about the time I started school, I have changed slightly since then.
