So, after spending 5 wonderful days in New York City, and 3 great weeks in Florida with my parents, I'm finally back home =)
Now that I've been home for 2 weeks, I feel like I've never been gone. Okay, sometimes I still feel kinda like a stranger, or an observer, but now I think I'm pretty much back in the Swiss life.
I really really miss speaking English though. I am totally in love with that language, and in the beginning it was hard for me to accept not being able to speak it all the time. But I'm still in contact with my host family and friends from the US, I read a lot of books and journals in English, and sometimes I think in English - just because I can and because sometimes it's easier. To me it seems like I can express feelings better in English for some reason...

Well, anyway, now I am back here in beloved Switzerland. I have my room back, my bed, my computer :) And, most importantly, I have my family and my friends back =)

This entry here should kinda put an end to this weblog. It certainly does not put an end to my exchange year - the memories are gonna be with me forever in my life. I am so glad that I decided to do it, and I'll surely never regret it! Everybody who's thinking about going to another country for sometime (no matter if it's 2 months or 3 years) - do it! It won't always be easy, but it's definitely gonna be worth it!

Last week I opened up a new weblog about my life here back in Switzerland. It's actually for my friends back in the US (it's written in English), but everybody's welcome to check it out:

I wish everybody much success with whatever you're doing. If you'd like to write me an email, feel free to do so. My email address is katie.usa@hotmail.com.

It was great having you as a reader,
Katja =)
