It cost me 285 USD to leave--apparently I overstayed my visa.
I thought someone stole my computer in LA.
My last plane was delayed 30 minutes so they could replace a part.
And one of my bags didn't make the last flight.
But I got home! And so did my bag, a few days later. That's all that matters I suppose.
I expected so much for everything to be very different, but what I've found is that everything feels much the same, very much. It feels like I was only away for a weekend. Which is really kind of weird. And not weird at the same time.
The adjustment issues probably will kick in once I've moved to school Thursday. I don't think I want to start that boring routine again, but I suppose having a university degree will be worth it.
Point of this story: I'm home safe, and it's good to be home. Not that I was any too eager to return, but it's good to be able to see everyone again. It was a stressful trip, but I survived. Who knows, maybe I'll be making it again this time next year...
Yay for the welcome home post! Glad your bag finally made it! And some of us are quite glad that you'll be returning to Edwardsville very shortly! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAnd now your sister can get off your back about putting up an "I'm home" post. lol
ReplyDeleteI, for one, am very glad you made it home. And if all those exciting things hadn't happened on your way home think how much shorter you Home Again post would have been!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will be traveling again and it's exciting to think where God is going to send you.
But I'm glad you will be much closer to home for awhile!
