Getting Ready to Leave

My time here is coming to an end, and you know what? I'm conflicted. On one hand, I'm sad. I don't want to leave. I came and found a wonderful community whom I love. I didn't expect to get attached to many people -- my time here will only be a total of 10 weeks. I did get attached to a lot of people here though, and I don't want to leave them. I don't want to leave the wonderful environment. On the other hand, I do want to see my family and friends at home. I miss them a lot. It's the longest I've ever been without seeing my parents. And it's the longest I've ever been without seeing my best friend. So I'm looking forward to seeing them (all my friends and family). But I don't really want to leave here. I want to be able to be with everyone, all in one town. Unfortunately, that's not possible. I'm told the conflict is actually a good thing; it means I love both places -- well, people in both places. It means my time here was good. It most definitely has been wonderful. But I don't really want it to end. And I know when I leave, that for a little while I'll be homesick for here. Because in the course of one summer, Hutch has very much become my other home.
