Back from Ukraine

I made it back from Ukraine safely, after way too many plane difficulties. Suffice it to say that even though I got back 8 hours after we were supposed to, I made it back safe and sound and happy. I do already miss being in Ukraine, for multiple reasons. The first being I made a few good friends there, and it's hard not being able to walk down the hall and chat with them or go out to dinner at cool places that they don't have here in America. The second is that I am so busy here at school and I miss not having to do much besides what I want to do. I also miss the city and the country and the food and pretty much everything about it. At least I'm not letting myself get lazy-I already walked a ton today, all the way back from St. Thomas which is about 25 mintes walking. Other than that there really isn't anything similar here. I did see a few guys from my group at St. Thomas this morning, which was pretty cool.
The last few days that I was in Ukraine nothing much was going on-people were writing their papers and we had our final exam, both of which I'm pretty sure I did well on, which is reassuring since I didn't put as much into this class as I have with other classes. I was much more focused on enjoying my trip and the city as much as I could! The train back from Lviv was very funny. Everybody was in a pretty good mood, and one of our professors had a beer with a couple guys in our group who everybody knew drank a ton, so it was so funny to watch them drinking together. There were also a lot of other people in our car this time, which there really wasn't on the way to Lviv, so we had a chance to interact with them. Our favorites were the drunk German people, 2 ladies and a guy. They were so weird, and kept asking us the same questions, but I know some German so I was able to chat with them, as was another girl in my group. It was fun to use my German, even if they were drunk and weird and gave a lot of people some kind of business card that we couldn't figure out what it was, and the guy said it was a man card or something, so that was pretty funny too. It was actually in Ukrainian, because he wasn't german, so our professor told us what it said and it was really just a construction business I guess. Nothing exciting, but funny anyway.
I've already gotten my pictures back, but since they aren't digital I can't post any up. They all turned out really well which I'm extremely excited about, because they really show the city fairly well, and the sights that I saw almost every day, so they will be a good reminder for my of my trip, which is basically unforgettable anyway. I think that everybody should study abroad or spend some time in a foreign country at some point in their lives, because it was an extremely fruitful and once-in-a-lifetime experience. I loved it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. But I am also happy to be home with my fiance, and to eat American food (I've already had hamburgers twice) and everything else except being so busy and having to worry about stupid stuff that doesn't even really matter. That's one of the things I liked most about my trip, is the lack of worrying about time and things that weren't important, and I'm really trying to bring that back with me, except it's hard to do that in our society!
