I'm home.
and let me tell you.. it's kinda anti-climactic. but it hasn't been the only thing lacking a climax in the last couple days.
(pun very much intended)

I feel so extremely weird walking into the rooms of my house. It's like I'm home... but I'm not. Everything's exactly the same, and instead of feeling at home.. I feel like I've been displaced again.
I woke up a couple of times last night, kind of freaked out to be in my own bed.
The blankets are too heavy, the mattress too soft, the pillow too high... but it's my own bed! In my own room! It's so weird to wake up in the morning and look over to my right and not see someone else sleeping across the room from me.

I miss my group. I feel sort of lost wandering around without any of them around.
I don't feel like unpacking. I want to live out of my suitcase forever.

last night in valleyfield

When I come home, I will make you all sit down and look through ALL the photos that I have from the program.
That includes all the ones that I have on my camera, all the ones from Manoel Viana that my homologue (counterpart) gave me on a DVD, 3 DVDs full of pictures from Ayman, all the ones on the other participants' facebooks, AND on orkut. :D
I don't care what we've been told about editing the photos down... I know I'd enjoy seeing 20 pictures of sunsets in Brazil.

I'm so excited I cannot wait to be home. 6 days seems way too far away!
My train ticket is bought, my bags are packed, 6 months later and I'm finally coming home!
4:40pm (approx.) Sunday December 21 - I'll be in Toronto.
See y'all in 6ish days!
