Not trying to go Weast.

Sometimes after a hugely impacting weekend like the one I just had, it seems like going back to the life you temporarily escaped from is a completely different world. And just like an astronaut landing on some distance land unknown, sometimes you find yourself treading even more carefully because you haven’t figured out this new place. It’s pretty weird when you say this about the place that has been your home since August 2012.

So done that my children’s children’s grandchildren will know of my annoyance

Let’s rewind the clock back to around 2009. It was a lovely spring day. I was spending a little bit of the afternoon with my boyfriend at the time before I hopped onto the R Train and then took my bus back towards my house. As I was waiting in line, my phone was just getting all the text messages I had missed while being underground.

Well, this is it. This is coming to you from AFTER seemingly never ending flight from Dubai back to JFK. We were delayed because a passenger got sick before we could even take off and delayed us long enough for me to watch Big Hero 6 in its’ entirety (WHICH MIGHT I ADD IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER AND I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A LOT A BIT EMOTIONAL ABOUT THIS.) I’m currently back in the States and kind of just feeling bittersweet as I try to gather my thoughts.

There’s not many things that can really surprise me anymore after today’s nonsense. I never thought I’d experience the day where I’d be in a bus that’s going oddly fast for a vehicle supposed to be exercising caution on hairpin turns, but then again, that should have been my warning that this last full day in Agartala would be an adventure that I’ll ever forget.

Learning really never stops, does it? It also doesn’t make things less awkward when you all end up in a classroom with a group you’re kinda cool with but also pretty unfamiliar with (The person I am in class is not the same type of person I am outside of it.) Today we really got the chance to learn together from our two professors.
