Living in a lucid dream!

Here, seated on a chair in front of the teacher with persons (that now I call my friends) by my side, laughing a bit because of the girl on my right and the boy on my left, I don't know what to do.
I'm supposed to write something and my mind is going to blow because of the infinite stuff that is inside it.
But now, I've noticed that after a little bit more than 32 hours I'm not going to be here anymore - laughing and living with people that until last week I never heard the voice or saw the face -, I will be at my house with my family and some people that, honestly, I don't care about. It's sad knowing that maybe we will never see each other ever again and it's a bit strange and funny how with just few hours I felt that I knew them since forever.
The English Immersion Program provided to me not just the best week of my life but gave to me experiences and people that I will never want to let go.
Before the EIP everything was about "how is going to be the program? And the immersioners, how are they?". During the EIP you hang out, meeting different persons from different places, you have funny classes with incredible and wonderful teachers and the most important: you eat a looooot of food!!!!!!
But then, you start to ask yourself how is going to be when the last day arrive, what's going to happen? Will you keep talking with the friends you made? Will the teachers remember the time they spent with you? Did you impacted people's lives, somehow?
It doesn't matter if you started to think like that when it was the first day or one day after your leaving. It doesn't even matter if you thought about it when the program didn't even start. It doesn't matter because you always do and you freak out and wants to cry.
And you try not to think about it or worry until the day arrives.
So you go and party with everybody like is going to be like this forever, you smile while learning a different culture and stuff, you know! You build a relationship with everybody that is in your reach, 'cause, well it's impossible you meet every inch of everyone in only one week, you let them know you and so do they (it's what you hope so).
Then, it happens! The day comes and EVERYBODY is crying and is just IT, I guess... it's time to go back to reality, but those memories... no one will take them from you.
