I called Anna and Cameron via long distance last night and suddenly realized how much I had missed Houston and all my friends. I was also really excited - something I didn't expect. I couldn't sleep a wink just thinking about all the things and people I've missed.
Earlier, I feared going back to the same routine, but now I'm looking forward to the next month as a second vacation; we're going to have so much fun taking road trips, spending nights out, and just bumming out the last days of August before starting completely different lives.
Some things I'm excited about:
-best friends
-taking Bikram everyday again
-Whole Foods! yum
-driving a car again
-nice weather
-veggie burgers
-road trip to New Orleans/Santa Fe/wherever
That aside, I'm kind of sad to be leaving Shenzhen - something I also would have never expected two months ago on my way here. I thought I'd hate this place. But I've made different friends - all of whom are the big brothers I never had. It feels amazing to have people who watch out for you and care about you but can also have fun, go out, drink and sing karaoke with you. :)
And then there's Georgetown. I'm excited about SFS and about meeting new people. Of course.
