Hard to say goodbye: Oxford

Today was my last full day in England, morrow morning we will be departing to London to take our flight to Madrid, where we will wait 3 hours, kind of boring. The last english lesson was about our final exam and talked about our future. It was really hard to say goodbay to my teachers, Harriet & Gareth cause they knew us at all and trusted them everything, we got fun and learnt a lot of stuff. However, I will miss my international classmates, I learned different cultures and knew different people. Although most of them were to strange, they were cool. I have to thank Abacus College the chance to teach me british english and for always ask us for everything what e needed.
When I walked through the streets I remembered my first day in England, which was almost perfect. I cannot believe that I've been a month away home in México.
I've missed my parents, dog and friends, and it's impresionant to tell you taht only two flights separate us.
In England I met nice people, I found good friends of the Tec, from different campus, and we all are now friends, actually I met a wonderful ladie who filled my hippiness with her look and smile every morning, the doubt is wheather I'll see her again or not.
It's difficul to say goodbye, I really loved this city, this country, the school and schoolmates, I liked my freedom I had and my vital space. I enjoyed living with a room mate, it made me more mature than before and I felt happy.
This month was one of the best, in fact the best experience I've ever had.
I know that this is no the end, just a goodbye because surely I'll come back again to Oxford...

Third week

I've lived in England for 2 weeks, I've known people from different countries, most are mexican, from the Tec. I've learned too much of real life, in fact, school ain't as difficult as it should be, the teachers are too flexible. Every day I wake up at 45 past 7 and I have a light breakfast. The bus has its own schedule, my room mate and I take the bus at 8:33 am, otherwise we wouldn't arrive early. The bus goes to the City Centre and we have to walk long streets to arrive to the school. Harriet, my grammar teacher, is a kind person, she is funny and clever, she always gets us active; sometimes we play some games and makes the class interesting. When the class finishes, I'm using to take a lunch, I often eat a chicken wrap. Gareth, the other teacher, is a nice person, he always try to explain us everything in a way we could understand. I really like this class, although it's an hour and a half long, time goes fast.
The afternoon activity sometimes is interesting, tired, funny, cultural or boring, in that case we can choose wheather we do it or not.
The group is formed by a guy from Vietnam, an italian girl, and other two boys: one from El Salvador and the other one from Thailand.
I've had lots of fun in England, however I miss Mexico, the most its food. Few days for going back to my country, that's the reason why I want to enjoy this summer.
No doubt, this is the best summer I've ever had.
Regards, Oxford !
