Last Day in Montpellier

So today is my last day in Montpellier and instead of being able to enjoy it, I am running around like a crazy person trying to shut down accounts, send things out, pack up, do laundry, clean the apartment...So I get to hang out with my friends tonight for a couple of hours and then leave to catch my plane at 10:30am. This is not much fun. Actually, it kind of sucks. It's been a really depressing week in general, though today I'm not so much sad as just overwhelmed. There's just too much to do. Plus the landlady is making us wash all the sofa covers and buy new mattress covers, which I don't really have time to do really. And I have to shut down the internet today which means I won't have any internet tonight which will also suck since that is what I do with myself to not feel so bad about leaving. I didn't really expect to get so attached to this place, but I guess you can never plan for that. I am heading to Brussels tomorrow and meeting up with Jake, which will be nice. Then we get to start our whirlwind tour through Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, London, and then back to Montpellier for me, and then home. 19 days and I am home again. Weird. All my friends are going home either tomorrow or a couple days after that, so I keep thinking that I am going home too, but I am not. I keep having to remind myself that I have a couple of weeks left yet. I don't feel like doing anything, I just want to sit and relax in my apartment, but now we have it pretty much emptied so it's not even really our apartment anymore. I don't like it. We're all rather subdued and I'm really bad at goodbyes...just kind of avoid them altogether usually. So we'll see how this goes tomorrow saying goodbye to my friends and to Montpellier, which is like saying goodbye to home again. I'll be back for a night, but none of my friends will be here, so it'll just be weird. Well I got to be off to send a package home to my parents with Christmas presents. Let's just hope it weighs under 7 kilos....Ugh.
