Right now, I am on what seems like the longest plane ride
back over to the U.S. The flight to Europe, praise God, went by so quick
(probably because I had a solid night’s sleep during it) and it just seems like
this is taking forever and a day. So I calculated it up, if you count the time
from which we left our hotel this morning to the time in which we should land
in Atlanta, plus the time difference, we will have been traveling for 18 hours.
Good thing we get to break up our flight somewhat with a layover in D.C.
Speaking of D.C., I am so excited about landing back on
American soil where people speak English, tap water is safe to drink, public
restrooms are free, and Mexican food is close (I, along with everyone else,
have been craving Mexican food so bad haha). As much as I have enjoyed the
trip, I really like America.
So on this plane ride, come to find out, I am sitting
next to a student at Berry College who is majoring in voice/music something,
which is what my sister wants to do and a school she is considering. And, to
make it even more of a small world, he knows some kids involved in Wesley at
UGA and is really good friends at Berry with a girl in my neighborhood whom I
have known for ever! Small world!
Now, I get to process the past 4 weeks. God has
taught me so much beyond the knowledge I learned in my 2 classes. He has taught
huge lessons in judgment and patience (patience as always, what else is new). I
am so grateful for them though because as difficult as it was at first, I just
feel like I have made leaps and bounds in those areas due to this trip. For the
next week, I get to catch up on sleep and not have anything to worry about till I babysit next Tuesday. Pool and sunshine, here I come! I need try and squeeze in a
chiropractor appointment, especially after trying to sleep on this cramped
plane.
