I am home again at my parent's house in Pinconning and it's really nice to see everyone and not have to work or worry about homework or anything like that. That work/homework thing has been dominating my life and making me stay up until 4 am and then get up at 7. This morning I slept in until 10 and that is probably a new record for me.
Plans are made for my days and weeks and I'm catching up on a life that I have sort of missed out on for a while. But that's what happens. You miss out on one part of your life because you move onto another. I am really and truly excited for the adventures yet to come and am really grateful for the ones that have already happened. It is like I want to be doing something every second while still having time to relax and work on my reading list that I have made for this christmas break, but that is just not possible.
This is really stream-of-consciousness and it probably won't make sense to anyone but me.
However, whenever I do come home I always feel some kind of separation from everything. I feel separated from this place because I have been away for so long and have not been here for all of the tiny little changes that occur unnoticed, and I feel separated from my life in Marquette because I am literally separated from my life in Marquette. It is kind of strange. Not unpleasant, just strange.

I always feel a strange separation when I move around from place to place. I don't feel at home when I go up north to stay with my family, and then when I get back to Ypsi I feel like I don't belong here either. And I guess thats because I don't belong here, but..I know that you do belong in Marquette! And also Peru. The strange separation and reverse culture shock you'll feel when you get back here will be amazing. Your eyes will be so open to the U.S. and everyday life here it'll feel like they take up your whole face! Anyway, I enjoy reading this blog!
