Coming home

Last weekend I had to say goodbye to my hostfamily in Sweden. That was quite hard for me, I will definitely miss them. Together with the other AFS students I spent two days in the End-of-Stay-Camp at the same place where we had our Midstaycamp in Sigtuna.
The schedule was filled with different workshops about Sweden, culture, coming home and so on. It was nice to see the other students again after such a long time (some of them I didn't meet during the hole year), but I was looking so much forward to coming home that I actually didn't really want to be there. However, I think it was a good ending for my exchange year.
Last Monday we, the Swiss girls, had to catch the bus to Arlanda at 9:30 even if our flight wouldn't take off until 16:00. That meant a long day at the airport, but it was okay. Time flew anyway. The whole way to Switzerland we four were hiping a lot and talking about all the delicious Swiss food we would eat as soon as we get home. Finally arrived at the airport in Zurich we walked to the bagage reclaim where we didn't have  to wait for our luggage at all. They came almost immediately. We already said goodbye to each other there at the bagage reclaim, because we just wanted to concentrate on our families when we finally see them.
And I can tell you: it was amazing to hug all my dear family members again! We drove home to Solothurn with the car quite soon after saying hello to each other. Back home I had to check out the house. I knew everything so well but it was funny to be there again anyway. Just when I looked around in my own room my best friend Noelle rang at the door and we hugged for a long time. Then my family, Noelle and me sat together, ate some snacks and drank my favorite sparkling wine. I showed them the souveniers I bought the last week in Sweden and we just had a really good time.
This week there was a lot I had to organise. Now my "real" life has begun again and I enjoy to have such a lot to do.
This will be the last post I ever write on my blog. I hope you liked to read my posts about me and my exchange adventure in Sweden! Have a nice time!

A last picture together with my wonderful hostfamily. It wasn't easy to say goodbye, but I'm sure it wasn't the last time we've met.
 Games and activities are still very popular at AFS camps.

 Hej då Sverige!
Chocolate on the airplane means you're flying with Swiss ;-)
