Back to Mac (for my sophomore year)

After a day full of 'see you later's and 'good luck's i ended up going to bed at 2:00 am. I woke up at 5:00 am half tired and half sick (i had a cold). My mom, as always, helped me fix the last details of my bag and made sure i left the house showered and with food in my stomach. I left the house late and was a little worried i wouldn't make it to the Airport on time. Fortunately i did.

Once inside the Airport, i was impressed by how nice and fancy the new airport is. It's something i wouldn't expect to see in Guatemala because it's too nice, clean and organized. A good surprise indeed.

I thought i would feel that funny feeling i always get when i travel. A combination of nostalgia and the typical "did i forget something??" feeling. This time, however, i felt overwhelmed by a calm and peaceful feeling. This time i knew i was going to come back to Guatemala, and not only because my plane ticket is a round trip, but because i felt that i belong there. I think it made it easier for me to leave. Apparently it made it so easy that i slept during the whole trip. I don't mean the 'good night sleep' but the 'mouth-open-and-loving-it sleep'. IT WAS THAT GOOD!!

I was also looking forward to coming to Macalester again. All the friends i missed, soccer preseason, all the people i wanted to share my summer adventures with, not to forget the fact that it's cheaper for me to call my UWC friend from here hehe. How could i not be excited about coming back.

It was a pleasant trip, with no delays nor forgotten luggage. sweet!
