I’m still tired from the transition party yesterday. We made a happy bunch over there, so many Romanians in one place again.

Now, it’s almost over, a few hours more and I will be on a plane back home. Right now I have an odd feeling in my stomach and mixed feelings … I’m so anxious to leave, in the last days I’ve been counting down the hours. I even went to buy a train ticket to Schipol a week before my departure.

I can’t say it’s been good or bad experience. I’ve been trough a lot and I keep telling myself I’m to blame for building the wrong expectations. What I can say it’s been nothing I imagined it to be.

I’ve worked till exhaustion at some moments, I was hurt by the indifference of people whom I thought were my friends and by the egocentric character of others, there were moments that I felt so low I could sink trough the floor. On the other hand, I’ve learned some new things, chilled with some old friends and got to know some new ones, I visited some of my favorite places again and got to see new ones.

I will certainly miss some things here: chilling with Gee, going out with Coco, Petroula, Abhi and Kiks, playing Unreal with Amit, Martin and Ryan and shouting like lunatics in the office, keeping up with Jeanne’s delicious mood or enjoying endless talks with Gwen.

But right now I want to go home. To have my room, my bed, my space. I’m looking forward to start my own business and to see my friends back home again.

This is it, I’m setting the alarm clock, packing my last things, writing a thank you note, turning off the lights … it ends.
