Yes, home sweet home! I had a wonderful Christmas with my family. After the 16-hour trip, I was back in Charlotte Friday night! When I flew back from London, I got sick from the plane ride so the long trip across the Atlantic wasn’t exactly peaceful. Anyone who has flown while sick can sympathize with me. It’s not fun. I couldn’t hear until Saturday night! But I wasn’t the only one sick on that plane. Every flight I had was booked full with people traveling home for the holidays.
It’s been a blast to come back home and eat American food again, walk around town, go to see a movie… the things I used to take for granted. Driving in a car has been a nice change, too! The sky is so blue with hardly any clouds. Despite the rainy Christmas day, the weather has been good to me!
Yesterday I spent the day at the doctor’s office and Wal-Mart getting antibiotics. It was great to see so many old friends at Wal-Mart. Lots of things have changed in my hometown. The year before I was living in Cullowhee, and then the summer in DC, now I live in Breda, so my town has changed considerably since I have lived here.
I only have two weeks before I return to the Netherlands and to school. I am trying to make each day count. The time change has been easy to deal with since it means I wake up early in the morning here, but I dread it when I return home! It’s going to be cold!!
