At Home

Guess what? I'm back at home. Big surprise, I know, given the title of my blog. Luckily, although this is finals week at St. Kate's, I have none. I did have 3 tests last Friday, the last day of classes, but they are over and done with and I think I did ok for the most part. I'm a little sad to be back, because I won't see my friends from college for 7 weeks. However, it's kindof nice to be at home, even if I am going to be spending most of my days baby-sitting/cleaning, but that's ok. I also have some German to re-learn, plus my Ukraine trip to read up for and try to at least learn the alphabet, which I'm actually having trouble with-mostly just the different letters. Of course, I'm fairly excitied for my trip, which I leave for in 20 days! Last night, as I was sitting in church at about 6:30, I though, "oh my gosh, in 3 weeks I'll be on a plane!" It was very exciting, but it's also a bit nerve-racking. It's going to be hard to be away for that long, especially away from certain people (yeah, that would be eric), and to be in a foreign country, where I don't speak the language, don't know what the food is like, living in a hotel with people I don't know, for a month, is somewhat unnevering, but yet is going to add so much to the experience. I'm already excited that I won't be spending as much money as I thought, because the exchange rate is 5:1, which is fabulous. I'm sure I'll have plenty more to say about my trip before, possibly during, and of course after, so I won't talk too much about it right now!
