Here's a random picture from back
when volcano selfies were an option! |
Tomorrow is the day. I get to go back home for the first time since I started college. As excited as I am, I can't help wondering when I'll get to go back to my other home, Indonesia. I've been missing it a lot lately, and I can't quite explain why. Maybe it's the fact that I know I'll be going to Japan in a few weeks...just days after my host sister's wedding (that I won't be attending because of school). I know it's not exactly the closest place to Indonesia, but I traveled through Tokyo on the way to and from Jakarta, meaning that it feels close to Indonesia to me. No matter the reason, I can definitely say that I now completely understand what everyone told me before I left: having friends and family living on opposite sides of the world is amazing but can be hard. As much as I love Indonesia, there are certain aspects of the US that I missed while I was there, and now that I'm back in the US, there are so many things that I miss about Indonesia. Nonetheless, it truly is a privilege to have been given the opportunity to spend one of my four years in high school in Indonesia, and I can say with absolute certainty that I would do it again.
I know this is short, but I really need to get started on my biology exam so that I won't have so much to do over break. I am currently watching Criminal Minds though, so I guess I'll see how much I actually get done tonight...
Until next time,
Victoria
