This is it. After two years living in Adelaide, Australia, I am moving back to Santiago, Chile. The time has pass so quickly! I feel like it was only a couple of months ago that I came here, with my partner. He came here with a schoolarship, to study his masters. When I came here, many people told me I was crazy. They though that leaving my job to come to Australia for 2 years, considering that I was comming to do...what? was really stupid. But I didn't see it that way at all. I thouth I was going to live a one time in life experience, especially because I was going to improve my English way more than taking classes in Chile, where there is nobody to practice with.
I think I was rigth. This was a GREAT experience. Not only because I improved my English so much, but also because I growned up as a person, as a woman, as a partner. I learned how to live in a super small budget (scholarship budget) and I had to work in anything in order to survive. I even worked as a bartender and now I can totally make you a cocktail!
But is time to go back home. Hope I get re-use to it quickly.
Cheers!

He came here with a scholarship, to study for his Master's (degree).

... was really stupid.
The dots here help the reader to see that this is a continuation of the sentence interrupted by "what?". There should be a blank space after the first set of dots.
I thought I was going to have a once in a lifetime experience, especially because I was going to improve my English way more than by taking classes in Chile, where there is nobody to practice with.
I think I was right.
Not only because I improved my English so much, but also because I grew up as a person, as a woman, as a partner.
I learned how to live within/on a super small budget (a scholarship stipend) and I had to work at all kinds of jobs in order to survive.
I even worked as a bartender and now I can totally make you a cocktail!
This use of "totally" is slang. It's fine to use it as long as you know that it is slang.
But it is time to go back home. [Alternative: "it's time"]
I hope I can get used to it again quickly.
