"An exchange year is like
a ride on a  roller coaster.

First, it is determinated to ride it and you were fascinated by the idea,
then it goes fast.
You must enter and then come the first uneasy feelings.
Then there are highs and lows.
But then it goes very quickly.

In the end, one is a bit sad that it's over,
a little proud that you survived it,
pleased again to have solid ground under your feet and
really would love
to sit on and ride again."
