Finally after four months, I am going back home to the land of potatoes. Sitting here at the airport, looking at my photos and thinking back to the person I was, I am amazed at what has happened in my first semester. I was a small town girl who left Boise for the big city with a suitcase of dreams and a bunch of junk for college. I did not know anyone and wondered how I would fare at Trinity. Now, I am sad to have said good-bye to my friends, who are also going back home, but excited to be back home.
Home is the land of potatoes, where I will sleep more than five hours every night, eat delicious Congolese food without having to cook it myself, turn in my bed because it’s not a twin size and spend time with my crazy family.
Good bye Hartford or as the French say, I’ll see you later. It’s not like I am not coming back, I am just heading back to my other home and spending a month with the people that I care about and who care about me.
The next post will capture the rest of my semester adventures as well as what important life lessons I learned this semester.
As for now, ciao, there’s a flight waiting to take me home.
