YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT. I developed small crushes on four different people while at Middlebury, haha. They were all completely different, too, so now I have no idea what 'type' I'm attracted to. The only thing they had in common was that they were all good at Chinese, haha. By the time I got to Guy #4, I mentally facepalmed and thought, "I could crush on just about anyone, can't I???"
And Guy #4 is definitely the one I flirted with the most, too. (Probably because he very obviously liked me back, haha. Oh God, I sound like a harlot, just stringing men along or something.) It's so bad, since I'm not even sure I want to be in a relationship right now, and certainly not with anyone from Middlebury, but hey... at least it made my days more interesting, LOL. Good to know that I can flirt even when I'm not allowed to speak English. xDDDD
PUTTING THAT ISSUE ASIDE NOW. On a more serious note, the last day at Middlebury was interesting. After a one hour session with the kids in my level, which was spent reflecting on the summer and saying goodbye, we were allowed to speak English once it was over at 10:30 AM. I felt bad, since my favorite professor can't speak or understand spoken English very well, so she jetted out of there once the pledge expired and I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. ;__;
I ate lunch with everyone and said my goodbyes before heading off to the airport. I was particularly touched when saying goodbye to this one girl from my level. We saw each other around a lot, but never really hung out, so I honestly didn't think I could've made much of an impression on her. But when saying goodbye, she told me:
Her: You're so funny! When I first met you, I already knew, "This bitch knows what's down."
Me: Really?? But I'm so much funnier in English. If only..
Her: I think you're already funny enough in Chinese!
OMG. I honestly had no idea she liked me so much. Gah, I wish I had known earlier because I feel like I definitely would have made more of an effort to hang out with her... Well, at least now we're Facebook friends? ^^;;
Overall, Midd was definitely an interesting experience. I'm actually thinking that one day I might want to go back and enroll in the Japanese school... but that will be a long time in the future. And fyi, I've actually been back since Friday night, but was fairly busy and exhausted all of yesterday. Today may or may not end up being just as tiring. ^^;
