Au revoir, Montreal - I'll be back



I leave tomorrow to go stateside, and I'm torn. I have had life-altering experiences here, but I miss home and the people there. Here's a brief summary of what's going on in my head right now, subject to change with more thought later:

Things I'll miss:
  • Hurley's
  • being legal to drink alcohol
  • hot Canadian men
  • eh
  • easy access to great music
  • beautiful architecture on every corner
  • having sleepovers every night
  • "SO bad"
  • playing piano when the mood strikes me
  • city lights
  • staying up til sunrise
  • authentic gourmet French food

Things I definitely won't miss:
  • walking tours
  • not being able to understand French
  • immaturity
  • being horrible at piano
  • not having A/C
  • weird breakfasts at RVC
  • not knowing whether the shower will burn or freeze me next
Cheesy as it sounds, "Leavin on a Jet Plane" is playing in my head. I really am leaving on a jet plane, and I really don't know when I'll be back again, and I really do hate to go. I'll be back someday, I know it. It won't be the same, but then again nothing ever is.

Au revoir for now, Montreal.
