I AM DONE.
It’s not the first time that I’ve finished a quarter, but man, I’ve got to tell you, the end of this term makes me feel great. Aside from the norm (happy, relieved, content) I also feel satisfied, a little homesick, actually, I’m not really sure what the words would be to describe these feelings. It’s never been such a big deal to go home, but it is now! I guess it’s not so much being done with school work, although I did that was all I was looking forward to for a while, but rather the idea of finally coming home. AHHHHHHHH!! Home was always a mere 2 hour (at max) drive away, but now there is still so much between me and home. I have to pack and clean—don’t want to come back to a stinky room, now. I have so much to think about! What I need to bring home, what I have to leave here. Not to mention, what I need for when I’m travelling since I’m not going to stop by Sussex in between my travel points. Ah, just overwhelming, but it’s exciting. I am now doing my laundry, sheets, clothes, everything. Then, its vacuuming. Then, cleaning out my fridge shelves and cupboard. Then, finally packing I guess! Oh, man! It’s a hard thing to grasp, I almost feel like I could cry tears of happiness. But, it’s not exactly sheer happiness. I guess I don’t really know how to describe it, but that’s fine I guess. I’m also looking forward to seeing everybody at home. Friends, Family, and of course, Blessing. These last three months..Wow. It’s been crazy. Ups, downs, hard times, fun times. These last three months I would just miss home and know that I wouldn’t be able to come home for a while, but now, I am coming home! I guess you don’t really understand the safety and value of being at home until you’re really away from it. And, these last three months, I’ve been keeping in contact with various people from California. To be able to be so close to them and be able to just hang out with them, in person, that feeling is just inexplicable, really. I’m not overreacting, really, just ranting, and this is how I feel!
More posts for updates over the last week to come! As for now, I just had a Christmas dinner with my flat. It’s a good feeling, and I am going to miss them a lot.
You know what, that’s probably it. It’s the Christmas spirit, and I’m ready to come home. CHRISTMAAAAS!
I’m am just feeling so thankful for everything that I have—not only the opportunity to travel and study out here, but also the people I have in my life. Family, first and utmost, is definitely something God has blessed me with. Thank you, God, for EVERYTHING. I couldn’t ask for anything more and through my experience here (though it’s been tough sometimes) I’ve really learned what is important to me, whether I knew it or not. AAAAH I CANT WAIT. AMERICA! Ok, its laundry time! More soon:]
