...my last blog from Scotland. Zach and I did most of our packing last night and I just have some laundry to finish up so I can toss the rest of my clothes in my bag. I really can't believe its over. The last four months have gone by so fast that I'm sort of stunned. This place isn't a foreign country anymore...its been home for so long that I feel like I should be writing my cross-cultural about the trip back.
I've learned alot since being here. I've seen many things that I never thought I'd be able to see. I took a tour of the Highlands and spent a day on Skye...I went to Paris...I climbed the Wallace Monument...and of course many other things. I think I'll go berserk if for some reason my pictures don't come out.
But I think that out of everything, I'm definitely going to miss my flat the most. I'll miss the all-night card games we've had in the last month. Spades is not going to be the same without seeing Duncan's poker faces or hearing Tanisha screaming at someone who took her trick or trading insults with Curt and attempting to learn some Irish words from Lisa. I'm definitely going to miss the parties too...I'm definitely going to be teaching Kings to people back home. :)
This trip has been an amazing experience... Its probably the best thing I've ever done and I'm really going to miss living here. But I'm ready to come home too...there's some people I want to see again. :) To everyone in my flat family...take care. When Cat and Duncan come to visit we are definitely going to have to get together at least once. Keep in touch and take lots of pictures for me and Zach, I'll do the same. To everyone back home...look out 'cause here I come. Covenant had best be ready...
This is Steele...signing off for now. Next broadcast will be live from America.
Cheers!
