Home Sweet Home

I have never been so excited to see that building in my whole life...Hello Jeff City

Well this is it...this journey has come to an end and so has this blog. My days of being a world traveler this summer are over. We crossed the bridge into Jefferson City at about 4:00 this afternoon. I have officially been home for four hours. It is a strange but good feeling. It is weird to not have to depend solely on myself right now. Someone else cooked me dinner. Someone else put gas in my car. Someone else did my laundry. But in only six days, I will be on my own again so I guess I can allow someone else to take care of things for now. Classes start in a week and a half whether I am ready or not. I think that school will seem really different this year. I have learned tons of things this summer that listening to a professor never would have taught me. I know how to ride a metro in the United States and in a foreign country and not get lost..or too lost anyway. I have learned how to budget. I have learned how to be professional..when I need to be...and I have also learned how to let go and meet new people, try new food, and visit new places even without having any idea of what the outcome will be like. Life was crazy and unexpected this summer and now it is comfortable and normal once again. It is time to settle into a routine again for my third year of college. But the one thing I know for certain is that Kia and I sure know how to get to the East Coast if at some point in the next few months I am in need of an adventure. To all those faithful followers of this blog, thanks for reading:)
