SYRACUSE, NY, USA
I wasn’t ever really in a hurry to come home from Europe, but after my trek across Eastern Europe last week (it was a wonderful time, btw, but nobody really cares so I won’t do a recap) I had done pretty much everything I wanted to do over there, so I was content to come back. I had a blast, but everything’s gotta end. So, I flew out of Strasbourg on May 4 and after 2 cabs, 2 airplanes, a city bus, a Greyhound bus, and 22 hours I showed up unannounced at Sadler Hall at around 1am local time on May 5. The first person to greet me was Carlos, who, ironically enough, I had never met before. He’s one of the new RAs here and he seems like a great guy. Since then, I’ve pretty much been hanging out with everyone who’s still left up here and just enjoying the fact that I have nothing to do (which seems to be pretty much what everyone in Syracuse is doing at the moment). It’s great; whoever said you can’t go home again is full of shit.
In the past three days, my sleep has been interupted by jackhammering across the hall (May 5, 9am), the sprinkler system going off on the second floor (May 6, 2am), and bongos down the hall (about an hour ago). That’s Syracuse for ya. I should be exhausted, especially after last night’s festivities, but I’m feeling pretty good. I have graduation practice in an hour or so. I guess that should feel weird, but it doesn’t. Actually, nothing about being back feels weird at all. I’m REALLY glad that I came back for these last few days to take a farewell tour around the ‘Cuse. I really do love it here, and there’s a lot of love here, and I love that. Like I said, everything’s gotta end, and this seems like the perfect way to end Syracuse.
