We are at the end of July...which means that we are more or less four months away from our finishing line. By finishing line I mean the end of going to attend classes.
I started thinking about all the things we lived together, and I cannot avoid being too much sentimental about it.
I think that we were one thing when we started, and thank God we all grew up side by side by in different ways.
In some way I feel the same sad feeling I used to feel when I was in my last year of secondary school. I feel that we are all going to take separate ways, and I know for sure that one of my best friends will move to other province. My other best friend doesn't live near my house. Which are the possibilities of working in the same place?
These holiday days are beautiful, and I'm enjoying them, but I miss my friends. I don't like the idea of not seeing them every day for five hours.
I've resigned my job, and this housewife life never was meant for me. I already stated that I'm not a desperate housewife. I'm a mother, a wife, a friend, a student, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law... I have so many titles, I don't need the housewife one.
Nowadays I spend my days working on a project in my computer and visiting my mother and a friend. My only duties at home are limited to washing clothes and cooking from Monday to Friday (on weekends I have to rest, and my husband cooks)
I'm excited about the idea of finally having my degree. I'll accomplish my goal of being a teacher before my 30's, but I won't have my Lola Mora's life anymore. My down-to-earth place. My stressful release valve for stress. My everyday easy smile.
I'll miss everything. My friends, my classmates, the hurry of deadlines, the knowledge built-up, the English speaking discussions, Gabriel's greetings, my teachers teaching beyond their subjects...
Even if I have to sit for exams to get my degree, I won't be attending classes anymore. I won't be seeing the warm people everyday. We won't be the close, friendly, and hardworking group we are now.
I know I have to work on hat idea on my own, and maybe I'm the only one among my classmates with these worries, but I tend to attach my heart to the people I'm with. I'll work it out in some way, I know I will, but it's not going to be easy. I hope its easier for the rest of you.

hi Pato,how are you?this is a very,very emotive entry.Don´t think that finishing our carrer and not attending classes will be something easy for us.I will miss everyone and everything, even the annoying and little things of our Lola Mora´s life.I am sure that we will still meet and be in touch, it doesn´t matter how busy we will be. I´m also very sensitive these days, and I´m already missing you all,eventhough we haven´t finished yet.kisses and hugs.c u.mauricio
