and im back.

so after my long ass hiatus preceeded by a very angry blog im back and ready to put my life (well parts of it anyway) into words once again. so what has happened since that horrid day(s) in the airport...

1. well in the airport they treated me like a drug mule...literally...but its ok bc im finally home and theres no point in recounting it bc then ill just get angry again...but ill leave u with the fact that i was left hysterically crying in the airport hanger while some asshole took out all of my shit from BOTH bags and then left it there for ME to put back without help even tho it had taken me about an hour and a half to pack them to begin with...needless to say i will probably never fly to guayaquil ever again in my life.

2. i went up to ithaca almost right after i got back...and i got the best welcome back anyone could ever get in their life. i didnt know how many people really missed me until i got back and was tackled more than a few times by unsuspecting individuals (i didnt really tell too many people WHEN i was actually getting back). it was the best feeling in the world, knowing that that many people missed you and thought about you in your absense.

3. my last day in ithaca was spent at the end of the year aiesec cornell retreat...and i couldnt think of a better way to spend it. the second i walked into the room i almost started to cry...i saw 20 new faces (and a few old ones :)) speaking aiesec lingo, having deep discussions and stuffing their face with pizza...20 new faces that made me realize that all the blood sweat and tears (and trust me...there was a lot) that i personally put into aiesec cornell were completely worth it...20 new faces that after one night i feel like i got to know so well in the way that only aiesecers can get to know each other in such a short amount of time...20 new faces that i know will do great things and help make aiesec cornell one of the leading LCs in the US and then internationally...

let's just say it was surreal.

4. after ithaca i came back home and found myself in familiar territory but in an unfamiliar state of mind. ever since i left for college i have associated home with awkwardness and unhappiness, but now its not the same. instead of reverting back to my bitchy insecure high school self (which i would do before my ecuador adventure) im actually secure at not-so-bitch...sometimes even pleasant!!! i cant put my finger on exactly why this change has occurred, but needless to say i (and my family) am very glad i did.

5. now that i have readjusted, its now time to be productive :) i have figured out my summer (job and housing (with linds) and such) and now its time to get crackin on aiesec shizzle :) i dont know what will come of this summer, but i know it will be great!

and so it continues...
