Last night!

It's finally here! My last night in America for five months. It's so crazy, my bags are still a mess and everything is everywhere as I'm trying to repack.

Chicago was fun, I got to see some old friends, and realize how much I didn't enjoy the humidity. As well as meet new Outlaw friends, which is always a pleasure. I almost feel as though I'm growing out of Chicago sometimes, I want to re experience it in a way that isn't just looking back, rather creating something new. Perhaps someday. Shout out to my best friends, Carlye Arden for always letting me stay, no matter how odd I become each time I visit. Also to Jake for being a total badass with his band and actually going somewhere, I'm so proud!

So now I'm in DC, where the final part of my cross country adventure closes. More Outlaws Mike and Amy showed me around the city. The White House, and all those things Americans like. It was pretty cool, but I have to say my favorite part were seeing the protesters and listening to their reasons for doing what they do. If only you could see the people with power doing the same thing, out in public. Ah well. I also met up with another student going to Holland, Austin, he was really nice and I felt quite comfortable around him, so now I'm a bit more relaxed about everything.

So the Netherlands! I fly out of DC at 530 their time, 230 for my west coast lovers. If you want to call, skype, or text me, do it before  then! Once we get there we're all staying at a hostel together. It's sort of like a hotel, just with no luxuries, at all. There we get to do some tourism stuff to get it out of our systems, get to know each other, learn the rules/laws, get over jetlag, and just chill for a bit. I won't have my laptop with me while I'm in Amsterdam, so I won't be posting to contacting for that week. After that week, my family comes and picks me up, we go home, and life starts! It's so so close, and I'm just sort of living in a dream land of undecided emotions. I love everyone who has supported me, who loves me, and who have spent time listening to me. I appreciate you all! Until next time, geode reis!
