A week in since spring break, and school is in full swing. The break came just in time. There's nothing quite like spending time with my family and friends. I like them so much that they make it a little difficult to leave.
I sat on my flight back to the big city, blinking back tears, thinking about how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. Really. I must be doing something right to be blessed with family and friends like them.
I thought about that, and I thought about the life I was returning to. And even though I hate leaving everyone, well, my dear friend Joyce put it best:
"..Remember everyone will still be your friends even when you're over there. I know it's hard not seeing them whenever you want, but at least it keeps you looking forward to visiting home. Also you're living your dream for a year, then you can come back to us."
She was right.
"Back to reality," I thought at first. Looking out the window, I could see the city peaking through the clouds, and I realized that reality isn't so bad. I was going back to exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to do.
And when your reality and dreams collide, it is a beautiful thing.

I started this blog in January 2010 just as I was moving to NYC to keep my family and friends informed of all of my adventures. Since then, it's become, well, this. So here.. Here are my stories, my thoughts, my rants, my worries, my fears, my hopes and my dreams. Figuring out life as it happens and trying to be the most optimistic person I know. Happy you could join me on my adventure :)
