LUMID Farewell
Now it's official. My class is over this year and we will meet again (maybe) next year. We had our last class for the year yesterday and the teachers made a farewell for us to say 'good bye' and 'good luck'. Good bye because we're not gonna see each other next semester (yep, we will be doing our field work), and good luck for the field work itself, and thesis later on. We had a chat, drink and snacks at the top floor. Was nice...
We headed to the botanical garden with some group of the people after the farewell at school. Surrounded by flowers and sunny-great weather, we just sat, drank, chat on the grass, and make funny Swedish comments that we could never say when we're sober ;) It was such a perfect time after all exams and assignments were finished, weather was good, people were flocking and we were just so relaxed, so relief (from all the papers!), happy, but sad. It's true! We had a common feeling, this mixed feeling of happy but sad, is killing us. Happy for being over from school and will go home soon, but sad because we have to separate from each other and do'nt know when and where can we do the same thing as a group again. So.. we just did not want to end the day, really.
The day was so friendly to us even until 2230 the sun was still up there, showed how happy it was to witness our time together. Felt like it understood how we refused to be apart from each other. Next year people might not come back to Sweden after their fieldwork, some of us will just write their thesis from home. So it would never be the same.. We could never sit together in the same class again, argued, get bored or excited about the lectures. We wil never got stressed out with papers, up all night and chat after midnight to just express how tired we are with those assignments...
Oh I will miss my student life...
***
Oh well, there is no such thing as a perfect farewell, no matter how well we celebrated it. We always want to reunite. But I will treasure yesterday as the sweetest good bye I've ever had. Thanks to the weather yesterday, the sun, the flowers and the grass, for being there and letting us to stick together for our last moment as a group....
Tack sa mycket for allt. Jag ska sakna ni.
