the end is near

Some things take too long. And you can't wait for them to just finish. For it to all be over. This trip is not one of those things.

It's ending suddenly. Without much preparation. It's almost disrespectful how it's happening. How dare you, universe? How dare you deny us more time with these kids; with each other?

I'm not ready to be done. But in about 36 hours I'll be back on American soil. Thousands of miles and an ocean away from the kids who love to sing, dance, and can't get enough high-fives. And separated from the Venture team that has been like a family. We haven't known each other for very long at all. How did they sneak their way into my heart. When did I start needing them?

I guess there's a point to this whole thing. It couldn't go on forever. There's a life to carry on with.

But for right now, I think it's all really stupid.

Comment by Sarah Quick on June 13, 2010 at 7:06pm: I agree. It's in fact quite rude how abruptly this all ended. I would have liked it to go on forever just like it was! Miss you, Nick and this blog just made me laugh so thank you!
