Sitting at the café, enjoying my $7.50 cappuccino (but they have wireless internet -- usually), taking a moment to mention that I’m really sad to be leaving Norway. It’s actually only Friday (classes ended yesterday) and I don’t leave until Monday, but this morning I said goodbye to the first of my classmates who already left for home. That really caused it to sink in: this fantasy Norwegian lifestyle of mine will soon end. That’s good for the wallet, and it means I’m that much closer to returning home and to my dear Alissa, but it still hurts to know that this place isn’t my home. I really do love it and wish I could stay. But real life beckons.
