A Belated Final Post

I never did give this blog of my Intermenno year a proper end. It is over two months passed, I'm well into my college life in the US and I thought that I should close this no matter how much time has gone by, just in case people would stumble upon this blog.
I think about my time spent in Europe frequently every day. I enjoy my life now, but so much takes me back and I miss Europe terribly. I also spend an equal amount of time devising ways to get back. Mostly though I miss the people.
At the Intermenno orientation they warned us about October, which is trainee irritation month. As it turns out, that happened to me upon return to the United States. There are things about American culture that frustrate me: Rushed meal times, Big Cars, People taking too many showers, Eating without a knife are just some of the things, a Horribly twisted view towards alcohol are just some of the things I can think of.
The only thing that keeps me in America is my need for a college degree and lack of money, hoping once I achieve the first, the latter problem will be resolved. I don't mean to sound like I'm arrogant or anything. Intermenno helped quench my desire and at the same time flame it.
In conclusion, this year was the best year of my life so far, that has provided me with a vast sum of knowledge, understanding and memories to take with me all me life.
