Day 12 - Can you even believe I've already been home 12 days? Has it really already been ten days since I've seen, hugged or tackled any single member of Gold 1? I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It feels good to be home. I've missed my family and my house but a lot of changes have been boiling in the Sturm house and it's not quite the family or the home I left. For instance, I'm sharing a room with my darling sister Emily...which is fine however, I have my clothes under my bed just like I have for ten months. Is this just Round 5 being sponsored by The Sturm Family in cooperation with The Edge Pro, Inc?
I have also bought a car! woo go me! its a 2009 Chevy cobalt lt coupe. I fell in love with a pontiac g6 gt which was in my price range and tricked out, but the guy lied to my dad and I and then was a dick so we went else where. It's nice to have a car that has A/C and runs well, but this also means car payments for the next five years and in theory also happens to mean most likely no Peace Corps next year. I am already freaking out about next year but trying to remain calm.
I really have not quite adjusted to being home yet. I was fortunate to become great friends (at least I feel like) my eight roommates over the last ten months; it is so discomforting to be living without them. Not only was there usually something to do, not doing something was also something to do. I had more fun doing absolutely nothing with them than I have had doing things with a ton of other people. Cooking dinner alone is a bummer. Washing dishes alone is a bummer. Laying in silence in the dark is a bummer. I talk to sophie every single day and I facebook Sara about everyday and JFB has been on facebook a lot. Yasha and I were talking more frequently thanks to MSN but he's now left the country and who knows if and when we'll talk. I've said a couple things to Stephen and only text with Denise once. I miss them, but I know most of them are extremely happy to be back to the 'real world' and Americorps was all just a dream. And it is beginning to feel that way.
However, I get to go back. Jen and I are working on the "road trip" although nearly not as planned as she would like. Then I can visit Sophie in LA, hang out with Paula in McClellan and start an adventure all over again. I'm getting really antsy at home, luckily for me there have been thunderstorms every single night....PTB!
