Back again

I arrived to JFK in NYC on Thursday afternoon. The entire plane waited around for our luggage for a good half an hour, but luckily the customs officials just waved us through. My Dad picked me up from the airport and because I ended up watching three movies on the plane instead of sleeping, I was passed out for the entire way back home, hallucinating when woken up as my Dad slowed down and had no idea what was going on.

The past five weeks were incredible. I wasn't bored for a single second; how could I have been after seeing all my friends for the first time in four years? The wedding was fantastic, as was the train ride there. The only disappointing thing is that we weren't able to spend more time together. Be that as it may, it was absolutely fantastic to be able to see everyone and be together after such a long time- especially as close as we are, it's hard for us to get together for a weekend when everyone lives in places such as Australia, Italy, Canada, the US, Hungary... and now, Guatemala!

The next week and a half is going to be full of getting things organised, make sure I have everything I need, and get myself mentally ready for the next 2 years, 3 months in a completely different country and culture than what I have been to exposed to.
