| Maria with graduating friends. |
As sad I was to leave Cape Town, I'm
beyond happy I watched my best friends graduate college. However, now I'm
coping with both my return to the states and realizing my best friends will be
in the real world when I'm back in a Storrs for the fall. After one day of
being home, I was struggling with only watching Netflix. In effort to be
productive, I've officially begun my career as an EMT. However almost every
part of every day reminds me of Cape Town right down to the phenatol the medics
use. I cannot even count how many times I've been asked "how was
Africa?!". I can never do it justice so I end up saying "I cannot
believe I'm back in the states". I'm struggling to readjust. The hardest
part is all my babies I've left behind. I think about them everyday because
nothing would make me happier than entertaining my tiny humans. However, I'm
glad I watched them grow and heal. I'm happy to know that many of them will be
returning home soon to a life outside of the hospital. I'm comforted by the
fact that I will return to Cape Town. It's crazy how I've been around the world
but I'm back again.
