Being back for about a month now
I can't believe it's been just over a month since I was in Europe. It seems like such a long way back! I don't think I really experienced any reverse culture shock. I was just so excited to get back home to see my son and fiance. I can't begin to explain how awesome Europe was. Everyone I talked to asks if I will go back, and I say yes without skipping a beat. Before I left I was apprehensive about leaving the country, and now I'm so glad I went. Everyone needs to expand horizons just a bit, and if you ever get a chance to go to Europe I say jump on it! I still haven't gotten around to uploading all my pictures, because there are so many! Every aspect of the trip was unique, especially hearing about all the different veterinary medicine programs. It's amazing to see how things work in my field in other countries. I am so glad I wrote about my stuff weekly so that I can look back and remember it all. I made new friends and got to see how people live halfway around the world! It was interesting to hear and see all the different languages, and everyone was mostly friendly since there were so many tourists. I even picked up on a few foreign words. Sure there were times when I wasn't in the best mood, but overall, the trip was great. I was so used to living at someone else's house that when I got back home and had to do laundry and dishes it was hard for me to do it! Haha. I can now say that I have visited 7 different countries! One day I hope I can add to that list, but for now, I'm super happy I can say I've been to Europe. Being able to go to our own for the weekends was nice as it allowed us to go see even more things! I can't say enough times how glad I am that I went on this trip, and I cannot wait to go back someday!
