Let me start off by apologizing for the lateness of this post. I should have done this a long time ago, but didn't know how to say it, and so I put it off.
For all of you who don't know, I'm back in the United States. I decided to return home, because my school said that the credit hours that I was earning in Switzerland wouldn't be sufficient for me to graduate, contrary to previous beliefs.
If I wouldn't have returned home, I wouldn't have graduated High school. If I didn't graduate from High school, I would have had to complete another year when I got home. If I would have stayed another year, I would have lost all of my scholarships, acceptances to colleges, and most importantly, all six of my hard earned congressional nominations to military academies.
It was a tough decision, but a decision that I made, and don't regret because I understand the need for it. I would have loved to continue my exchange and become completely fluent in french, but I will have to settle for studying here in the United States.
For all of you back in Switzerland, I will miss you, and don't think that you are gonna get away with not keeping in touch! For all of you state-side... well, I'll see you around!
PS: I am going to keep up this blog, just because I like it so much, But instead of My exchange, I will fill it with my adventures and happenstances.... so, if you were only here for the foreign exchange part of it, this is your stop, you should unsubscribe... for all the rest of you, hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
