Home at last...

Sorry I haven't written in so long, things have been quite hectic since arriving home. I wasn't home 24 hours before I was back down at school, starting my new semester at APU.

The day I departed from Celebrity Century was a sad one. I didn't want to leave Andrea, and saying goodbye was hard. As the shuttle drove off towards the airport, I felt an ache growing inside me. For the time we spent together, for the nights watching Andrea perform, for the conversations and scrabble games, for my new friends aboard the Century, even for sharing that tiny cramped room for 4 weeks. I miss it all, and hope that someday I will be able to join her again...

I arrived at the airport early, and, after delayed flights, extended layovers, and bad weather, I was finally able to make it home. I could write a three page paper on the experience, but for the sake of you having to read it, I will refrain. One really cool thing did come out of this though - since I missed my connecting flight (due to the delays), my boarding pass got swapped for one that turned out to be upgraded to first class! Because of this, I was able to sleep better on the flight home, and therefore was not as jet-lagged as I could have been. My wonderful family was waiting for me in the terminal, welcome-home signs in hand, and took me to taco bell for a mexican pizza before heading home.

From there, I got to spend time with my younger sister, who spent the night, then driving back down to APU to get my things moved in before the new semester started. With 3 studio classes, I'm quite busy, and I'm actually writing this post from my very own studio work space!!! It's a lot of work, very challenging, but fun, and, I should probably get back to my painting now, so I'll say goodbye for now!
