  • So. I'm back stateside. I've been home for two weeks but it feels like forever. I've talked to Lucy and others and it feels like we were hardly ever away...and that's a bad thing. Almost five months of experience being swallowed up by a blase summer. Yes, I have gotten to see friends and family of whom I've missed. I just feel like this town is suffocating. I'm hoping Greenville will be better but I'm not sure. I've considered after college either going into the Peace Corps or getting a work visa in Scotland for six months to a year. That solely depends on money and where God wants me because honestly...I have no clue what I'm going to do after I graduate. Probably avoid a "real" job as long as possible.

    I remember talking to Lucy and Chris in my living room in NZ about how we could talk for days about our experiences abroad and people would either get tired of it quickly or just not get it. I strongly recommend that everyone goes and travels to another country for at least one month. It will change your life and make you see things so differently. Plus, upon coming back, you'll realize a lot of things that you wouldn't have seen about your own country had you not left.
