Rebekah Warburton... A Day In The Life Of: Coucou tout le monde !!!

Oh la la ... It's my last day in the Mission Locale de Lille today and buoyyy does this feel strange. In many ways I don't feel like I could possibly be leaving tomorrow... I've become so attached to this city and project in a weird way; even more so the the people I have met. They have been incredible. Going for a drink with my 2 closest friends last night, knowing it was the last time just the 3 of us whilst we would all be living in the same place was really quite emotional (yes a few tears may have already been shed). I can't begin to describe how I'm feeling because I don't even know myself.

Tonight will be my leaving party and in styylllleeee .... Well let's face it, how else to leave with a bang than to leave with SALSA :-D I'm hoping there will be quite a few people there and a LOT of dancing. Although I can't promise a sober night hehe ... Before we're going out I have to try Hungarian alcohol apparently and already promised a Mohito in the bar, ooooo weeee :-) There may be a slight bit of sleeping on the trains tomorrow ...

Over the last weekend I had 2 friends visiting from the UK and it was so great. We went out with the other volunteers on Friday night (couple o' beers and a good dance), went sightseeing, for a meal and girly gossiping Saturday and chilling out and Chinese Restaurant Sunday. It's been like this non stop for a while now, with having managed to fit in graduation last week (BSc Hons Psychology with 1st Class Honours) and my awards ceremony in London for the Your Story Poetry competition I came second in (at the British Council hehe). Tomorrow afternoon when I get home will involve.... sleep, tv, sleep, tv, sleep and hey, more sleep !!!

Now I need to dash off ... I need to do a couple of videos, 1 in French and 1 in English, where I will answer a few questions for mini interviews about my experience. Oh the joy .... I'm not great on camera anyhow but then the added stress of this silly cold grating in does not help :-P

WOW, I'm back to living in England TOMORROW. That doesn't sound right !!! I can't wait to see and spend time with my loved ones, but next year, I'm determined that I will discover another continent. My journey has just begun. EVS has given me my wings to fly .....

I think I just made myself a little sick hahahahaha ..... I don't think I could get any cheesier :-) But I mean everything I say ! It has been a truly amazing experience.
