So…

I supposed it would be appropriate to give this blog some form of closure. I mean it’s only been a month and a half since I’ve returned to State College, and have been back at the grind. Daily life has kept me far too occupied and I am not always given the chance to reminisce about the summer spent abroad. I miss Grenada more than anything. It was the best opportunity I have ever had (maybe second to going to PSU), and I will cherish the experiences Grenada shared with me for my whole life.

I think that it’s getting easier for me as time goes by. I can look back and reflect on the whole experience with a lot more clarity now. When I first got back to the U.S. my mind was totally set on readjusting. Oh and by the way, the whole readjusting process has been grueling. In fact, I think I’m only now getting readjusted. Which is probably why I’m writing in this thing. So I guess the past month and a half I’ve been completely maladjusted. Ah, the therapy of blogging is kicking in again.

Grenada taught me how to handle life. I’ve really taken an initiative to accept things the way they are and improve on the things that I can. School has been going well, aside from my occasional Grenadian instinct to just let things happen naturally (i.e. not go to class on Mondays). But basically the whole “my life is a vacation” mentality is finally wearing off. I’m finally back in the swing of things and I can finally appreciate my summer in hindsight. Especially the lessons learned working with the ministry.

In order to give my life’s yin its yang I think I’ll work at an aluminum company next summer.

Until later…
