it's been too long

So, the final has been done, and we had a final party. So we practiced this Russian dance like crazy and it didn't come off super well, but it worked when we performed it. It was an emotional week. Last goodbyes to everyone. We said goodbye at the final party, where we saw the last of all our friends. After that we had a couple days left in Nizhney Novgorod and left at the train station. They say that the platforms are wet in Russia because of the tears shed in train stations. It was good, my host family was really sad to see me go. After that it was an overnight ride to Saint Petersburg formerly Leningrad
