I refuse to start with anything resembling "so I haven't posted in a while so..." nope. That's not going to happen. I apologize for nothing. However, I do feel somewhat obliged to give an update.
Life is amazing. Perfect really. I have good friends, family, things to do, people to see, house keys and a bus pass. And how could I forget my amazing Rotary club? Rotary meetings are often the highlight of my week.
Though, as we all know,all good things must come to an end. The faster we burn through 2011's calender the more I come to realize that this cannot last forever. That I will one day leave my beloved Magyarország, and the friends that have become my family will go to the parts of the world they too, call home. I will have to leave the amazing city that is Budapest and go to what once was my comfort zone, home rather. I am not the same person who left San Francisco back in August.
When they prepare you for this program, they warn you about the difficulties you're going to face coming back home. Admittedly, I kind of dismissed that thinking that I wouldn't change too drastically, that I would still have the same energy, mindset, and attitude going back home.
I can be so naive at times...
Going back to "normal" high school, driving, people, no villamoses, metros, or buses to get around, no Kinder Pingui or Túro Rúdi, no parliament, no malls within walking distance. Though possibly worst part of all will be that no one back home will know exactly what it's like to ride a villamos while eating a Túro Rúdi (that you got from the mall at Nyugati) on the way to Margit Siget to watch the boats filled with tourists travel along the Duna past parliament.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that's going to be the worst part.
HOWEVER....
Until then, I am enjoying life to its fullest. Making every day count.
Carpe Diem
Ragadd meg a napot.
