And so it ends

This is it folks...perhaps my last blog post in Switzerland.

I did my check out stuff, paid my fines (damages to our building, thanks Magnus), got my refunds (the stupid books they never gave us), yada yada.

My bags are all packed and waiting. Now, it's just sit around. My flight out isn't until tomorrow at 10:35 AM (arriving at SFO at 4:25 pm)...so it's just a waiting game at this point.

I'm just going to hang out here for a while...take the funi down at some point, take the train to the airport at some point and camp out there overnight. I could get a hotel room there but...meh...what's the point? I doubt I will sleep, that would mean unpacking some stuff...besides the Geneva airport is comfortable and quiet.

The graduation was pretty cool...I got a shiny medal and great grades. Granted I was a touch disapointed with a couple of 'em...2 freaking C's (70% in marketing and 78% in Facilites...or was it rooms?)...but all the rest were A's and B's...and I did amazing compared to the rest of my students. 10 of 'em failed...which is really sad. Some passed by less than 1% and some failed by more than 10%. Ow.

But all in all it's been...well...amazing. It's snowing (still), quiet and rather sad. There has been lots of hugs, handshakes and face kissing....some tears...and some joy.

It's funny to think it's all pretty much over now. It hasn't fully settled in, and probably won't for a little bit. What a long strange trip it's been.

On a bit of a sad note...Magnus is in deep shit. Last night he got extremely wasted and broke into someones room and unpacked all their stuff...just threw it all over the place. We found him this morning sleeping on the couch, still wearing his school clothes. Security was called in and I don't know what is going to happen to him. He's not coming back, that's for sure. It was pretty pathetic watching him just crumble over the semester. He needs help...and honestly he isn't going to get it here. I'm not sure if I told the story about the guys breaking into his room to beat him up...maybe I will later.

So, once I return to the states...to good old California...that may be the end of my Around the world in unkown days. I mean coming back would be the full circle. So that would be the end I guess.

We shall see. I've still got some adventures under my sleeve. This old man has a couple tricks left...and I've got some plans for more...interesting...things.

So wish me luck on my flight home, get ready to have a beer with me and see a hell of a lot of pictures.

I love you all...and thanks for sticking with me in all this. It's been awesome.
