Home

The past few days have been long and stressful, but it feels great to be able to say 'i'm home' finally. Well, that may be a premature assumption since i'm currently sitting in a hotel room in LA waiting for my final flight to arrive and fighting a massive amount of jet lag, but at least it's not another 10 hour flight to sit through OR an ash cloud to deal with. 

Leaving Freo was goofy.  I was so anxious to get back to the US that there was not much time for me to be sad about leaving. Obviously it was hard to leave the great friends I had made over the semester, but it didn't really hit me that I was leaving until I was already up in the air. The weirdest part is that I'll probably never go back, and for me, that the part that is really kicking in.  I loved the experience, and I will always love Australia, but it's also made me want to travel to many other places and witness more culture! 

Since I am back in the states, this will probably be my last Blog entry, unless i'm desperately looking for something to do besides my homework at some time next semester. I cannot wait to see you all when I get back to the midwest, and to hear about what everyone has been up to while I've been playing in paradise for the past 5 months. See you soon!
