Fare-thee-weel Gothenburg!

'O my luve is like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June;

O my luve is like the melodie,

That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi' the sun;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands of life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel, my only luve!

And fare-thee-weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho' it were ten thousand mile"

(Robert Burns, My Luve, 1759-1796)

And I will come again Gothenburg - tho' it were ten thousand mile and more!

Right, this was not so hard as I expected it to be, even if it stings sometimes - saying g'bye to everyone in Götet and packing up the apartement..

I realise how much I love this silly town and my even more silly and wonderful friends =)

But as I've been telling a lot of my exchange students - if you're not at all sad about leaving, then you could just have stayed home to begin with! Being a bit sad means you've appreciated all the experiences and the encounters with folks you've met - and just think about all the memories you have now! I mean, come on! that's priceless!

So it's with a straight posture and my head held high that I've told my buddies to take care and see you soon!

The countdown continues:

6 days, 17 hours and 10 minutes!

ca passe vite, hein!?
