....and everything comes to an end ...



Today is the last day of IMD life...
When I sat tonight to write this post a song from Semisonic, "Closing Time", instantly came to my mind:

"Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
 ...
Closing time, one last call for alcohol
So finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don't have to go home
But you can't stay here...
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end
...
Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from"


It was a truly special year. 
- So many new things...
- So many new parsons
- So many new places to visit...
- So many parties, meals to attend...
- So many works to do ...
- New languages to learn
- New cultures to explore
... and yes so many laundry, cleaning, cooking, supporting the students ... 

It's hard to describe in words how special this year was for me. And a big part of the role experience was the people I meet and became my friends, my family.
I've learned a lot with and from them and that made me grow in so many 
aspects. 
You guys made my year !!!

We began the year as strangers and finished as friends. And by analyzing we all changed in a good way =) 
We weren't chosen as the students were chosen to be part of IMD. But the outcome of our group was outstanding. As individuals we have lots of  qualities and as a group we manage to work really well. We've been trough lots of stuffs and I risk to say that we did a very good job.

This past days a mix of feelings is surrounding all the IMD Community. We are happy for closing a cycle but at the same time we're sad for leaving....
Leaving a city that we learned to love , living a lifestyle that we enjoyed so much and above all leaving some good, really good friends....
As Maria, a wise 4 year old kid once said "we won't have this anymore". She was completely right. We won't have everybody at the same place together again. And maybe that's way the fact of saying goodbye is so sad.

As you can see  I'm already missing everyone and everything.
I'm sure I'll meet you again someday.
I'll bring everyone in my heart wherever I go for the rest of my life.
I love you all.
Lots of hugs and kisses to you ;-)
...
Now let's enjoy our last day !!!
"Carpe Diem"

P.S.1: a small retrospective of our year in pictures. Sorry for not including everyone, but I have many pictures for a few slides (it was hard to choose)
P.S.2: I added the song that I was talking about in case you want to hear.
