A rut.

I'm in a rut. It's less than two weeks before the semester ends, a little over a month before I leave the country, and I find myself sitting around here most of the time. Although I'm sure my French has greatly improved over the last fourish months, I still feel really limited in what I can express and understand. On one hand I wish I had more time here to learn the language and absorb the culture. On the other hand, I am so ready to go home. This is an attitude that I think I've picked up from a lot of the other students, most of whom have been here since October. That I can understand. I think it's a combination of everyone already finishing up their semesters back home, and the fact that most people will be leaving here as soon as exams end that make me more ready to leave. After my exams, I'll be staying around here a few days to say goodbye to everyone, then hopefully doing some traveling until I'm joined by my mother for a little over a week, then finally heading home. I'm sure that those last couple weeks of travel will reignite my passion for foreign cultures, just in time to go back to the good ol' US.

I need to get my idealism back sooner rather than later, wherever did that go?
