More good-byes.
And they will keep coming. That is one of the harder parts that I am learning about being here. I tend to make friends quickly and deeply with the other foreigners (I am not going to say Americans, because the majority of my friends right now are not from Argentina, but they are not from the US either), because they automatically understand what it is like to not be from here and to be far from home. There is quite an amazing support system between all the interns and foreigners I work with and know. The problem is however, they are all coming and going in way less time than I am. They come and go…and I stay. I am the only one crazy enough to stay a whole year!
So hear goes another friend. I am going to have people littered across the US and the world!
