happy trails
I can honestly say that I have made some lifetime friends while on this trip. It is a big accomplishment on all our parts that we were able to survive here, in a foreign country, by ourselves, away from our parents and everything that’s familiar to us. There is no doubt in my mind that the friends I made here and the experiences we shared will last me a lifetime, but I also could not have had so much fun here with out them. As we have only a limited number of days left, I am a little worried to go home and live without them. I will no longer have Katie to make me breakfast while I read the anthropology textbook out loud to her, or Victoria, Haley, Hayley and Mic upstairs to bother when I’m bored. Or seeing them everyday. No more figuring out what we are doing for dinner since we are incapable of eating without one another. These things that have become so normal and habitual are about to cease and we go right back to the same old routines at home. Though those were once “normal” are they really going to be “normal” any more? They are going to seem so mundane and so boring. Ew, and I’m going to have to drive to Safeway when I’m hungry, not just walk down stairs to the kebob shop. Well, there are no kebobs in America either, great. I don’t want to go home : (
Side note: I GOT INTO UCLA!!!!
