On Wednesday night, my friend Hannah (England), Simon (Germany), Alain (France), and I went over to Maria's apartment to have a goodbye dinner together and we all brought delicious food and just spent 4 hours talking and joking around. It was incredibly good and SO much fun.
She's going back to the Netherlands for a little while, and then she goes home to Colombia for the holidays until she figures out what she's doing next.
It's bizarre to me that I feel so close to someone and that I became such good friends with someone after only having spent the past month and a half with them. AND we spoke almost only in French (although sometimes in English, too, when we felt like it). It's also very bizarre to have to say bye to someone knowing all too well that you might not see her again for a very very very long time, or ever for that matter.
After our ride to practice dropped us off last night around 11:15pm, Maria and I hung onto each other, hugging, for a while. It's really quite difficult to have to let go of someone and force yourself to walk in the opposite direction when you care about them. But I guess already knew that.
Maria put it quite well: "The world is very petit. We'll see each other again."
*sigh*

OK, I can see in the near future, Min is going to Columbia to visit Maria. WHY NOT??? You never know in life.
