London to Austin

Finally back home in Austin. Three weeks can seem like quite a long time. You think that while you're gone things in your everyday life might somehow evolve at light speed in your absence. Well I got home and even the little things were still the same. I swear the same Macklemore song was still playing on the radio when I got in Casey's car at the airport.

I don't think I ever got home sick while I was in London. What I really wished is that I could have had all of my people with me. I had an amazing time with my new classmates, but sharing a trip like that with my people would have only made it that much more memorable. Every place we went I found myself thinking of friends and family that would would have loved it. I needed Lindsay with me shopping at Harrods, Casey at the top of the Eiffel Tower, my Aunt Kay at Regent's Park, and Mom to follow directions for me so I don't show up to a castle the one day it's closed!

I'm so glad to be back in Texas with my Mexican food and air conditioning, but I can't wait until the day comes when I can go back to London with my people and show them the things I fell in love with and discover the thousands of places I could quite fit into my first trip. Until then..
